Yes, that was the point of the article. How far back do you go. When do you stop, Why. Do you consider Australopithicenes? Paleolithic? Neolithic? Early Modern Humans? What? and Why. However, I think even the Paleos would admit that going back two billion years doesn't prove anything.

I read the article and it is very close to my understanding of what early man (hominid to neolithic) ate. As I have posted on this board many times, and have met all kinds of silly arguments from the paleos, early man's most likely diet was fruits, nuts, vegetables, leaves, grass, insects, and VERY OCCASIONALLY meat. For…

Millisent, Bozzo the Lawyer is actually right, but not for the reasons he gives. Battery is a crime because the state has an interest in preventing it. You cannot consent to being murdered or being beaten upon, or a number of other things, because the act of murder or battery is defined in the law (elements of the crime,…

So you are GorillaEsq, now. I remember your previous incarnation. You got kicked off the board, right. Gorilla Esq? Wow! You simply gotta let everyone know you are a lawyer, don't you? You must be very insecure. If I remember correctly, you didn't know much about the rules of evidence either. Anyway, just remember, King…

Overall a good post. I am a vegan for ethical reasons, as most vegans are, and as I have said, I doubt there is any question about it being the superior ethical choice. Even non-vegetarians acknowledge that. Preachiness, though is in the eye of the beholder. Vegans have science on their side, just as those who accept…

Very interested if you would cite a study on detrimental effects of grain on gut flora. Not a UTube presentation by some quack, or an opinion piece (unless it is by a medical expert) but a study.

I fully agree that the government has no business being in our lives more than is absolutely necessary. However, having said that, I see no indication of great intelligence among the population interested in healthy living. "Magical thinking" still protects the majority of people from realizing that if they eat meat, they…

Okay, humans used to get their B12 from bacteria that lived around roots. You only need trace amounts of B12 and eating "dirty" vegetables was how humans obtain this for millennia. The article is unfortunately in Chinese, so I for one, could not really examine what was said and done there. The article is also only saying…

Okay, here comes the low life!

Preachiness and judgmentalism is in the eye of the beholder. What is preachy to one person can be considered a statement of pure truth to another. I like to quote studies whereby I think I avoid the "preachy" aspect, because science can rarely if ever be considered preachy. However, many, particularly those who have what I…

No, they truly hate me.

This is a tough question, and I think they are giving politically correct answers. I don't think the answer is so easy, I believe the vegetarian ethic is a superior ethic. Does that mean that I think vegetarians are superior to non-vegetarians? I don't think I can honestly answer that. When I was single, I didn't date…

Your opinion. I guess my question to you is if there is no such thing as a definitive correlation study, why do they keep doing them? Why do major health organizations use them for policy purposes and recommendations? When you have a thousand studies from all over the world, using different cohorts, following…

Quorn was one of my favorite foods. Pity it is not vegan.

Yeah, me either.

First of all, I really do not want to get into an argument about whether to eat grains or vegetables. I have no problem with either, Both are a substantial part of my diet. The only thing I have a problem with is eating meat. I have ethical reasons not to do that, and there are clear, obvious health benefits as well. I…

I really cannot listen to a UTube at the moment, but I will this afternoon. I agree that high VEGETABLE PROTEIN might be okay, but not high animal protein.

Well, well, I know you. I heard about your problem. Unbelievable!!! I appreciate your advice, and it is, in fact the same advice VoV and others have given me. In the long run, you are probably right, but I have a different goal. (Message me if interested.) Yes, you can attest that I am obnoxious, but as Popeye said, " Iam…

I wonder if you would think that if a race of superbeings came here from another planet and decided to eat us. As for humans being herbivores here is a bit about the Editor of the the American Journal of Cardiology: William C. Roberts MD has five decades of experience in the field of cardiology, written over 1300…

Please give me the citation for that study! Every study I have seen says exactly the opposite.

Hear! Hear! Well said!

I didn't read all of this thread either, but I think I am one of the obnoxious vegans that people are talking about here. The reality is however, that I never tell anyone what to eat, but rather I keep throwing scientific studies in their faces, showing a definitive correlation between eating meat and chronic diseases. The…

Superior? Based on your say so? Here is an article that talks about the benefits of eating grains, and their article is based upon studies published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition: http://www.qualityhealth.com/eating-nutrition-articles/4-benefits-eating-whole-grains

I never specifically pointed you out as a scientist. What I'm saying is that these days you can't really trust scientists to be delivering the actual data that they've gathered, but rather a stilted, skewed view that is made to fit into specific outcome that has already been pre-defined. Most of the bad science against…

Yet, any study can be manipulated and bent in any way that researcher wants. That has become evident in recent years with many scandals in the scientific community in which "scientists" have been caught or admit to either fabricating or discarding data that did not agree with a conclusion that they'd already decided on…

I feel very happy for your family, but they are your family. I and people who are of a scientific bent prefer studies to anecdotal information. However, I have never stopped you or anyone else from saying what you want on this or any other board. Sorry, but go ahead and talk about your family if you want to. If others are…

You are nothing but an online bully. Your "facts" are the only allowable opinions. You ridicule others (ie "ethical choices are hard for you to understand"). This post asked for opinions from people who have tried the Paleo Diet. You are insulting and rude and have apparently never tried this way of eating. Get lost and…
