Did paleolithic people weigh their food in grams or ounces?

i'm confused.

how can paleo eaters of today accurately mimic the diet of our prehistoric ancestors from 10,000+ years ago if paleo eaters don't know which measurement units paleolithic man actually used?

this fundamental oversight seems to throw the whole premise of paleo eating into doubt for me. :huh:

    I hear cavemen did kipping pullups and paid upwards of 200 beads per moon cycle to work out with other cavemen.

    They weighed it with their hands and grunted before shoveling it in their mouths. I think. I mean. I don't know.

    Are these the same stones they used to beat *kitten* to death with?

    No, but nor did they eat the "Paleo" diet. They ate whatever the feck they could get their hands on!
