Paleo Diet is a lie, UMAD?

The Omnivore's Dilemma is about the only "diet" I agree with and it's not a diet.
Basically just talks about we should eat like our Grandfathers and Great grandfathers did.
The whole paleo thing IMO is a bunch of crap for reasons stated in above posts.0 -
I don't think the video is necessarily saying that diets based on paleolithic humans are a lie, but more-so stating the fact that you are not truly eating like a paleolithic person and the impossibility of it in modern times. I eat primal and in the Primal Blueprint, he states pretty clearly that you are extracting the useful information from the diets of our distant ancestors and adapting a modern diet as best as possible. I also didn't care for her explanation of how humans are not adapted in any way to eating meat. I mean, the fact that we CAN eat meat, mostly without ill effect, and our systems are identical to neither herbivores nor carnivores, is some indication we have adapted to eat meat, no?0

Most people who eat "paleo" are eating a diet based on the paleo era and not the crud that is labeled "The Paleo Diet" and most of them from what I can see, strive to eat that way at least 80%, meaning they can have non-paleo foods sometimes also. It's not a diet based on strictness, it's based on finding what works for your body and makes it feel better. That's why some paleo peeps do dairy and some don't. That's JMO.0
