YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD of the Stone Age diet craze known as the Paleolithic Diet, made popular most recently by Dr. Loren Cordain's best-seller The Paleo Diet. The premise is simple: If our early human ancestors couldn't have eaten it, we shouldn't, either. It's the one time, it seems, that being like a caveman is a good thing.
The theory goes (and archaeological evidence corroborates) that early hunter-gatherers, while they may not have lived as long, still had some major health advantages on most of us modern humans. They were much taller, averaging 6-foot-5 to our 5-foot-11; had stronger, heavier bones; had more robust immune systems; and were leaner, tougher, and hardier than we are today. Higher levels of physical activity also played a vital role in cave people's vitality, and so did their high levels of wild food consumption: wild game meat, gathered greens and fruits, and healthy fats such as nuts.
Cordain suggests that prior to the agricultural revolution, early humans ate this Paleo Diet for 2.5 million years. The 10,000 years since the popularization of farming or just 333 human generations he says, is clearly a drop in the chronological bucket when compared with the millennia leading up to it. Thus, he maintains, the hunter-gatherer diet our ancestors lived on is far more deeply and indelibly imprinted into our DNA than our habits of the last few thousand years. I'm inclined to agree with him. In fact, I'm going to see his 2.5 million years and raise him a few millennia, and show you what we were really designed to eat. The real Paleo Diet would have included bugs. Lots and lots of bugs.

They’re really good on pizza...
This is exactly opposite to what the Hebrew Bible tells us. According to that tome, every moving non-aquatic creature’s antediluvian diet was green herbs (Gen. 1:30, 9:3), including tyrannosaurus rex as well as homo sapiens. Interesting —
You first, Michelle. :^*
Now where have I heard that before?
"..hoyt..hoyt..hoyt...hoyt...hoyt"
No, they got a Mastodon tusk shoved through their chest by then, or the weeping eye sickness, or rotting arm sickness, or liquid bowel syndrome, etc...
Hakuna Matata.
Hudsons, Kresgees and Winkleman were the Kings of Woodward Ave. back then. Under new leadership, Detroit may attract new business, I hope. I no longer live in that part of the country. I used to walk from my High School Cass Tech downtown during lunch and visit a carmel corn shop called The Nut House

Complete bull$#!+....
It's safe to say that conditions and the nutritional content of plants was significantly different pre-flood, insofar as meat was not on the menu, for it was unneeded. In addition, pre-flood biblical characters lived significantly longer than post flood ones.
Yes, my lizards really enjoy their Paleo diet crickets. So my cats, if any crickets escape my lizards’ tanks.
The perfect liberal diet. Infinitely sustainable. Locally produced. Leads to everybody dying by age 30 so you don’t strain the government’s “health care” system. You’ll expend thousands of calories hunting down the creepy crawlies so you’ll stay lean and trim, pleasing your government overlords.
OK, libs. You first.
You should youtube Kent Hovind. He has many videos concerning The Flood & creation.
When your attitude is positive your energy is up, your immune system works better and stressors have less affect on you.
Conch is a snail and delicious. At $40/lb, it should be.
A remember Michael Savage talking about how locusts are kosher.
I thinl this kook ate termites that been having lunch on his brain.
I have it on good authority that roasted grasshoppers taste like shrimp.
That said, I’ll process them through the chicken first :)
I'm not a bible expert, but I seem to remember that Abel became a shepherd of a flock, while Cain cultivated the land. I don't think that it's too much of a stretch to assume that the flock was used for food, and also for offerings to the Lord.
