From Hunt Gather Love’s Melissa McEwen: Top 1 Reasons I’m Not Paleo
The Paleo diet was a tool I used to learn about applying evolutionary biology to modern health problems. It doesn’t define me as a permanent lifestyle that focuses on identity and demonizing so-called “neolithic non-foods” like grains, which distracts from the real enemy, the processed industrial food industry that churns out nutritionless garbage designed to be addictive with no consideration for human, animal, or environmental welfare. I’m not “paleo,” though I eat in a way informed by our evolution as a species.
