Interesting. I'm not sure if I buy the whole "we don't have evidence of x, so therefore x wasn't there and any amount of x is not healthy" argument structure. At the same time, I'm not ready to go out and get a bunch of potatoes and cook up some french fries, mashed potatoes, and a side of fried rice and beans for dinner. I think research supporting the paleo diet is more compelling when it uses evidence from the past and the present day. There is so much about the past that we don't know, and some that we never will know. What if there's a huge piece to the puzzle we're missing? We won't ever know, because it's millions of years later and we don't have a time machine.

Anyway, thank you very much Nancy, that was a fun morning read
