This is one of the main problems with the "paleo" diet, which pretends that humans all ate exclusively red meat and...nuts, I think, they claim?
The reality: they ate whatever was plentiful in the particular area they were living in.
- Auracle 2y agoI’ve never been on the paleo diet but from Wikipedia: “The diet avoids food processing and typically includes vegetables, fruits, nuts, roots, and meat and excludes dairy products, grains, sugar, legumes, processed oils, salt, alcohol, and coffee.[2] “ That seems about right to me, apart from avoiding salt. Wikipedia says humans of that time period did eat some grains too.
- m0llusk 2y agoNo. There are many ideas that go into the Paleo diets which have many variations from vegan to pure carnivore, but mostly it is a reaction to some modern engineered foods not being ideal for human digestion. Marshmallows fried in Crisco is not a traditional food and eating such things has unknown effects. The we don't know exactly what people ate or how they cooked it argument has at best meager relevance. We actually have quite a bit of information about that as well as what foods have been recently engineered using modern technology.
