For me, I think the paleo's have it right overall. Read the journey of Lewis and Clark or La Salle in North America over a 100 years before them. If meat all the time was totally bad, these explorers and their troops should have died of kidney failure at any time after cheating dysentery and other diseases.

In reply to an observer. I've tried explaining it to my parents. They still have a hard time accepting it, even though they can see the results. When it comes to food, it's very hard to change people's habits easily.

In reply to Breeze. Yah. Every time I indulge in pizza or north Indian food or Thai/Chinese food with noodles, I always feel like I went on a drinking binge afterwards. That stuff is pretty close to toxic to the human body.

Your slack approach to paleo looks strict compared to mine. I drink coke with my scotch, still eat potatoes and rice, and often use sauce…and I am still in better shape that 90+% of others. Its amazing what just avoiding wheat and corn will do.

Mmmm, dark chocolate, bacon and weightlifting…..

Most of my family and work colleagues are astonished at what I eat; I've stopped trying to explain it. While they might nod and smile politely, no-one wants to question their own convictions. Sad for them.
