What I dislike a bit about Mark's site is that he's promoting the 'primal' lifestyle and at the same time is selling the supplements.
So did Grok (that's how Mark calls the paleolithic human) eat supplements and isn't there a conflict somewhere?
- joshkaufman 16y agoIt's not necessarily a contradiction. Example: we used to get regular doses of minerals from our water supply. Today, we largely filter these minerals to make "hard" water "soft." Doing what our ancestors did ≠ ingesting what our ancestors ingested. Supplementation can close these sorts of gaps.
