I was on a friend's Facebook fan page and I found a link to this article. It really highlights the simplicity, wholeness, and greatness of following a more paleolithic lifestyle. Paleolithic refers to a time when hunting and gathering was the only mode of surviving. Agriculture and processed foods did not exist. A paleolithic diet consists of meats, nuts, fruits and vegetables, and using any processed products of any kind very sparingly, including dairy. Fossil remains indicate that these humans lived very healthy lives without obesity, heart disease, cancers, and other ailments plaguing our society today. Natural selection over thousands of years selected genes that were ideal for processing the foods present in a Paleolithic diet. About 12,000 years ago, agriculture suddenly "infected" our food sources- reducing the nutritional density and altering the foods we had evolved to love and eat. The affects of this drastic diet change on humanity is evident in the rising rates of disease.
