Darrin Carlson covers some of the "failings" of Paleo (I'm not anti-Paleo, but this was a great post which made me rethink some of my own criticisms as well as gain some new insight).

Regarding the Paleo diet--If I'm going to justify a healthy diet to eat because "that's what my ancestors did", 1) I'd prefer to choose ancestors who had a life expectancy >30 and 2) I think I'd find some Mediterranean ones who ate foods I'd like to be eating!
ReplyDeleteLife expectancy is easily misinterpretted. Check out wikipedia's entry on it. Note in particular that references and tables there indicate paleolithic life expectancy was about 54 years once you remove childhood mortality.
