I'm afraid cost trumps nutrition, which explains the obesity epidemic. People just don't have the money for steady diets of healthful foods. McD and the like win every time.

A great source of information for this type of diet is Mark’s Daily Apple: I’ve been following this way of eating for over a year now, and I’ve never felt (or looked!) better!

The caveman diet may have been high in protein, but the paleolithic diet is not sustainable for the world's population today. Mass produced foods are needed and these are usually cereal based. I don't think we'll ever be going back to the cavemen diet.

If we want to eat a Palaeolithic diet we should give up beef and lamb and eat deer and bison meat. Sadly the mammoth, which was widely eaten, is no longer with us due to overkill by humans. The Australian aboriginals, who until recently lived a hunter gatherer existance, would also recommend witchetty grubs.

How do they know the Paleo humans ate 20 – 25 plant foods per day? The caveman was likely an opportunist and ate what was available. After a kill they may have eaten meat for days. When hunting was poor they probably ate anything that didn't make them sick.

Hunter-gatherers, except in the poorest regions eat an impressive list of food. I do not see why our ancestors did not have the same relationship .

I'm convinced that our ancestors discovered everything in their environement that was at all edible and/or tasty. Hunter gatherers in all but the poorest regions eat an impressive list of foods. I don't see why our ancestors would not be the same.

the low carb diet. is healthy but more expensive. fast food = high carbs, low cost, more obesity. eventually the low cost catches up with you in higher health care costs.
