“Basically a diet very heavy in grains only came about around 10,000 years ago and humans have not yet evolved to respond well to that diet.”
They why do we have molars designed to grind grain?
Molars are designed for grinding all food (try eating a steak without using your molars).
You can google paleo for beginners and have all your questions answered in a few minutes if you are actually interested.
It has only been for the last 70 or so years that big AG and their government cronies have convinced Americans to eat rancid hydrogenated seed oils(margarine) instead of lard or butter from animals.
That is why you cant buy beef broth in the supermarket, only “beef flavored hydrolyzed vegetable protein” for instance.
What’s that quote again? “Nasty, brutish, and short.”

Anthropology is not among my favorite "sciences," and most anthropologists are narrowly educated fools.
They often remind me of Mark Twain observation of "... such large returns in conjecture from such small investment in fact."
They are delusional, and more often than not treat their own or familiar theory as fact.
Of course the Paleos took the path of least resistance! They weren't stupid.
D'OH!
Agriculture and searching for health food stores is work!
If you need an explanation (and you're over 12), no explanation is possible.
Ayup.
I beg to differ on the beef broth. If you go to a high end market you can find real beef broth, it just costs more than it does to make it yourself. It also tends to be loaded with sodium and crap like Bisphenol since it comes from a can or mylar lined, small plastic jug.
Hobbes' "State of Nature," i.e. Paleo.
Hey, these guys are dogmatic religionist zealots.
Don't confuse them with facts
They are not content with just "doing their thing."
They must coerce the rest of us into also "doing their thing."
They can eat skunk rear ends for all I care, so long as they leave me alone.
Who is stupid enough to believe prehistoric man “dieted”? He spent his entire life trying to find anything to eat — anything.
Not disputing the time line, even though I think it is bull-cocka:
Basically, people were the same then, as they are now. Color me amazed...
You’re right.
My daughter is very into Paleo and I’ve never once heard her attribute the diet to ancient wisdom or any crap like that. They look at what foods were available - in season - and understand that this is what human’s evolved to eat. The jump into agriculture was much too alien and fast for the human body to adapt to properly.
Yes. Early humans were opportunistic. And that meant that they didn’t have access to white flour or refined sugar. We’re still opportunistic eaters, which is why we’ll dig into cake if it’s sitting on the counter.
Yes, same type of scientist that are peddling global warming.
Exactly. That is a picture of beef flavored broth made with hydrolyzed vegetable protein instead of beef.
I was referring to the average supermarket. But they don’t sell it at Wegmans for instance though I’m sure some others have it as you suggest.
I make my own from grass feed beef bones right from the farm.
Real bone broth is becoming more and more popular as people reject the fake food the government and food marketers have been lying to them about all these years.
There is a bone broth cafe just opened up in NYC.
Maybe look up the word “diet” in the dictionary. It’s not just about losing weight!
Bingo!
It’s worse than that. The Indians killed the American Bison indiscriminately. If they needed a horn, they’d kill one and just take the horns. They were so plentiful Indians didn’t need to worry. It’s the pre-Columbian version of the Tragedy of the Commons.
