I had a similar reaction, not that it's necessarily specifically anti-paleo, but that there was some motivation to cast protein in a negative light. There's a paragraph in the article that seems intentionally designed to become nutritional misinformation, ending with this: > Indeed, if humans eat too much meat, diarrhea usually ensues. And within weeks, they can develop protein poisoning and even die. “Because we humans are not fully adapted to a carnivorous diet, we simply cannot digest protein very well,” Lahtinen says. “It can be very fatal in a very short period of time.” The next paragraph makes a passing reference to available prey animals often being "nearly devoid of fat," but it doesn't explain that this near complete absence of fat in the diet is necessary to make protein "poisonous."
