Most of paleo is just understanding the science of how our food affects us at a level beyond the nutrition label. It evolves as new evidence comes in, so this can't be a slap against paleo any more than measuring the gravitational constant can be a slap against physics. If you've got the idea that it's about trying to emulate cavemen -- well, there are a couple loudmouths who add the historical reenactment angle, but that's not how most paleo people think. We've known for a long time that potato consumption is ancient. The things that actually matter, and that the paleo-sphere actually talks about, are things like how harmful the glycoalkoids in the skin are. Here's an article discussing the actual Paleo opinion on potatoes: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/potatoes-healthy/#axzz3ikd0khZP http://www.marksdailyapple.com/potatoes-healthy/#axzz3ikd0kh... . In short: they're okay for some people, but avoid the skins.
