Oh no! Another health/diet/fitness trend exposed as marketing blather. Pretty soon they'll discover that there are no 'core' muscles, or that you don't need to run with 180 cadence no matter what the pace.and you other ones who are interested.. This is a very interesting video

Agreed, she misrepresented the emphasis on meat. I think only some strains of the Paleo/Primal diet do that, right?all "diets" seem to contradict themselves and outsiders always do poor representations of them. paleo isn't about eating more meat. it's about not eating grains and processed foods. eating more veggies, nuts, and upping your fat intake.
paleos contradict themselves by saying you need to increase your fat consumption but eat lean meats. eat organ meats which contain more fat, vitamins, and minerals.
there is no way modern man can eat the way our ancestors did but we can certainly do better by not eating processed junk.
Ha! I did some incline sit-ups about an hour ago, later I'll do some dynamic stretching involving standing leg lifts, side-to-side and front-to-back, with ankle weights. Yesterday I did deadlifts and squats, the day before crunches, bicycle sit-ups, and leg lifts, tomorrow I'm going to do some landmines and hanging sit-ups. Too bad none of it is officially recognized as 'core' work. I guess I'm missing out. I tried to do plank exercises--mostly a waste of time in my opinion. The only thing I kept were the renegade rows (with dumbbells, not kettlebells), but weight-lifters have known about those for a long while. I also like doing pikes with suspension straps and hyperextensions with a(n in)stability ball, with my feet tucked under the bench, for stability. I don't know if those count as official core exercises.This past spring a part time yoga teacher I ran into asked me what I did for my core. She was interested in adding more "core work" for her students, so I told her how many reps of crunches I did and how long I held them etc.
She said that sounded more like sit-ups and not really core work.
Oh well, she liked my core strength just not how I got there.
Of course nobody even had a core til maybe 10 years ago!

I think for me, even though I've only read a little bit on it, the most important takeaway from the Paleo diet has been that it's OK to eat animal flesh, something I think vegans needed to hear, and that at least certain kinds of fat are OK, something most of us probably needed to hear. Other than that, I think we've known many of the lessons found in the Paleo/Primal diet since at least the time of Euell Gibbons. About the only influence it's had on me is to get more serious about eating protein first thing in the morning, so I've ditched my whole grain cereal with fruit for nuts with dried fruit. I've also reduced my grain carbs, but still eat and enjoy them.Yeah that video is just fluff...I didn't see any debunking more like accidental promotion of Paleo...she should write your own Paleo book.

Our intestines are also much longer than carnivores', so by your logic, we should avoid all animal flesh.so if i remember this correctly grains are modified grasses. ruminants, cows and such, have multi compartment stomachs so they can process these. we only have a one compartment so avoiding them makes sense. except for corn. i can't do that. my native ancestors here say the gods came and made us out of corn.
Cool, will look into it.Lee you should do some reading on Weston Price and his work he did decades ago...interesting stuff to add to the mix of dietary info.
Pretty good list (http://www.westonaprice.org/basics/dietary-guidelines), not always easy to follow, but my wife and I are definitely trying:Lee you should do some reading on Weston Price and his work he did decades ago...interesting stuff to add to the mix of dietary info.

If you increase the (human) carrying capacity of the planet, you will end up increasing the human population, putting even greater pressure on non-food resources (water, energy, minerals). And monocropping soy, for example, is no better for the environment than factory farming pigs. We must be clear about cause and effect, form and content.a Vegan diet is going to be necessary, since it takes about 1/10th the resources to produce the same grains, as animals eating those grains in a factory farm ... -Barefoot Ken Bob
Not me, I belong to the clean-plate club!i know we're omnivores. i realized i should've stated that after i posted.
we don't need factory farms or feedlots to feed the world. just need to eat what we produce and store what we can. we waste a lot.
