Newbie wondering why no peas on paleo?

Anyone fancy another North vs South challenge?
About a year ago, we did a Team UK Biggest Loser challenge on MFP, with two teams- the Northern Numpties vs the Southern Softies. I've been looking for a challenge recently, but haven't seen anything to really get me motivated like that did. Would anyone else be interested? :smile:
