Read the whole blurb, some good thoughts re: not about being perfect or pure. A lot of how you describe these Paleo diets depends also on exactly what period of early human life you focus on- eg- the ice age life of neanderthals, where , presumably, plant foods were limited, or the hunter gatherer in better times: Id have to look up the figures (from The Origins Diet) but the basic idea is that modern hunter gatherers, such as Australian Aborigines, who have been pushed to marginal environments, consume at least a couple of hundred different foods, including animal sources, but also many many plants. Imagine the huge range of vegetable matter that would have been eaten by our ancestors when they had the pick of the worlds richest biomes?
