No-true-paleo fallacy.
- bullsbarry 14y agoNot at all. The point OP was making is that these 3 cultures are decidedly NOT paleolithic, and it's disingenuous to use them as examples of the effects of the paleolithic diet on cardiovascular health.
- ef4 14y agoThe no-true-scotsman fallacy implies a shifting or pedantically narrow definition. That's not applicable here. Paleo fans are very clear that they're trying to emulate pre-agricultural diets. That's the sine qua non of the Paleo fad. So it's totally legitimate that they would object to evidence about agricultural societies.
