I think I've made a mini-rant on here before about the "reasoning" behind the paleo stuff before. I'm all for a diet that seems to work for quite a few people, but the bogus evolutionary justifications are completely useless.

I mean, first, there's the fact that there's no reason to assume that "Really Early People ate X" implies that "X is better than Y". Second, we know quite about biochemistry these days, and we have lots of real live humans. Why not just study how diet affects them instead of making stuff up?

Blah blah blah. Perhaps my New Year's resolution should be to stop preaching to the choir :)
