Oh great more straw mans.

How about we just leave this topic alone if you're not going to try to educate on anything and just mischaracterize everything.

Yeah lets leave it alone, we would not want the straws to add up to a haystack.

All those stuff I've mentioned allow massive boosting of crop yields, year after year. There's nothing wrong with using fertilizers; it's a form of technology that can be exploited to greatly boost crop yields. Growing random stuff and calling it "Paleo" isn't gonna feed people. If you want to run a monoculture, you're gonna run into all those problems you're complaining about. If you want to let whatever random shit grow, you're gonna have low yields and run into difficulties harvesting.


Do you know what's going on in other parts of the world? A billion people having difficulties putting food in their mouths. Any kind of food, mind you. We're not talking about poor people who can't afford to eat proper food. I can tell you of an alternative starch-based food that is key to alleviating malnutrition in Africa: cassava. Good luck finding other stuff.

How the heck are cows any more terrible than other farm animals? They're all herbivores and eating meat is naturally more inefficient than eating plants. Unless you consider methane to somehow "reduce" yields.

how are grains good when it causes my eczema? what nutrients does grains have that veggies dont?

btw the avg life expectancy for hunter gatherers are so low is because a huge percentage die before 5 years old.

Ever hear of food allergies? I want to see some proof of your claim of why the average life expectancy of hungers/gathers was low because the average age of death was before age 5.

Grains are very rich in nutrients and grains have a very rich taste with lots of variations when it comes to taste. I guess you guys also dont enjoy a good beer considering most of them are made with grains. Grains is to food what beer is to alcohol, both have an amazing taste and a lot of possibly variations that add to their natural flavor. Adding honey to oats for example tend to give them a nice smooth buttery subtle texture and give the highs a nice mellow natural sweet flavor and the lows a creamier honey like grain texture. It also leaves a pleasant sweet and oaty after taste.

Also, the reasons why people didnt die from many of todays diseases is because they didnt live as long. Most people didnt make it past 30 when hunting/gathering played a big role in survival. I just got done eating some oat grains actually and checked the nutiritional facts and its loaded with vitamins, I dont know of many vegtables and/or fruits that have as many vitamins as a serving of grains.

I'm sorry if some people view this post as an attempt at trolling but to me personally, calling grains the main source of disease in todays society and calling them unhealthly are extremely laughable and I find it humerous that people actually believe anything what they read on the internet without using logic as to why people didnt die from diseases that are caused primarly by aging when the average life expenctency in the hunter/gather days was under 30.

It doesn't really matter how old people on the African savannah could become.

The highest life expectancy today is in Japan. The reason is their diet. They eat fish, vegetables, rice, beans, seaweed, seafood and they do it in small portions. Pretty much the anti-thesis of what the early humans and homonids in Africa ate.

Yes, but the genetic variation favouring old age in Japanese or any other people will be the same, you silly.
This hits the fundamental idea of Paleo. If it were right, the food the Japanese eat must be the least healthy because it's the least like paleo people's diet.

Talk about drawing at straws.

Maybe he likes science and dislikes conspiracy theories. Anyway, your airheadedness was funny 5 years ago decaf. It's 2012 now and your clowning now got annoying.
