small, local, sustainable How do these relate to paleo? Modern wheat is a dwarf variety 42-chromosome plant that cannot grow without human intervention. Relevance? Why does the chromosome count matter? And why does size matter? Do you think it's good that modern corn is much larger than ancient corn? Then why would it matter that modern wheat is half the height of the wheat people were growing a century ago? (Though probably still larger than the first domesticated wheat.) Hunter-gatheres were stronger and 4 inches taller than the farmers that followed. This is misleading. You mean the farmers that immediately followed, not modern day people. While early farmers were malnourished in many ways your typical American is not. Ancient emmer wheat had 28 chromosomes and much less gluten than modern wheat. Rephrased as "modern wheat has much more protein" it has a more positive sound. The pair of words gluten/protein is like calories/energy where you can choose whichever has the connotations you like. still produce the lactase enzyme to handle dairy, then you're fine. Isn't that just a fancy way of saying that lactose intolerant people should avoid dairy? I believe Steve Jobs' pancreas problems were due to his fruitarian diet You have nowhere near enough information on his health to conclude this.
