- bigiain 14y agoThere's a wide gap between a "paleo diet" and modern junk food. One of my local science broadcasters[1] often uses the phrase "don't eat too much of anything your grandmother wouldn't recognise as food" - and I suspect that's pretty much the same good advice as the paleo movement's, the marginal difference health-wise between eating common 1950/1960s food attempting to re-create some idea of paleo diet is almost certainly tiny. High fat/sugar/salt junk food, high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated vegetable oil - there's no doubt that they shouldn't form the basis of your diet. But the paleo movements arguments against agricultural societies grain-heavy diet, with it's several thousand year ongoing trial, doesn't seem to be quite so real. [1] Karl Kruszelnicki - http://www.drkarl.com/home/ http://www.drkarl.com/home/ Another one of his food/diet related phrases is "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."
- kleinsch 14y ago"Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." is a Michael Pollan quote. Definitely recommend his books if you're interested in nutrition.
- com2kid 14y agoThe funny part here being that with Paleo, this becomes "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly meat."
- graeme 14y agoDepends on what you mean by mostly. If the quotes are meant calorie wise, then there is disagreement. If the quotes refer to volume, then they agree. Most paleo authorities say that plants should fill most of the plate. Anyone know what Pollan meant?
- dsirijus 14y agoIn the spirit of the simplicity of the quote, I'd bet on volume.
