Potatoes are a bit of a grey area it seems - whilst sweet potatoes are considered acceptable, nevertheless eating a lot of them is considered to be not ideal. Personally I don't like potatoes because they offer little nutritionally and are rapidly converted to blood sugar. So my own personal rationale is not necessarily entirely borne of paleo/primal principles.Methuselahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09134860337125242027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6715049094354778809.post-54480704571395151502009-06-16T21:32:03.830+01:002009-06-16T21:32:03.830+01:00I noticed in the video that potatoes were in your ...I noticed in the video that potatoes were in your list of the bad foods. I am curious as to whether you avoid all tubers as a part of this diet as I would think that gatherers like the peoples from the Andes would have collected some portion of these in their diet although not nearly in the same proportions that we have consumed them since becoming agrarian.<br /><br />Those of European descent were likely completely unprepared to eat these, however.Wellescent Health Bloghttp://wellescent.com/blog/siteblog.phpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6715049094354778809.post-53637023882137531202009-06-15T16:31:08.432+01:002009-06-15T16:31:08.432+01:00Kate...

Not only that, we might cut carbon emissions by roughly 144 trillion pounds and reduce petrochemical use.<br /><br />For the on line version of the article click here, https://www.motherearthnews.comwww.motherearthnews.com/Sustainable-Farming/Grass-Fed-Meat-Benefits.aspxChef Rachelhttp://www.thehealthycookingcoach.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6715049094354778809.post-27101014949991385952009-05-05T01:25:00.000+01:002009-05-05T01:25:00.000+01:00I really liked your video, part 1 & 2 and thou...I really liked your video, part 1 & 2 and thought you did a great job of conveying the essence of paleo diet.

I am not sure whether you are agreeing or disagreeing with me but you certainly appear to agree on the central point, which is great.<br /><br />To your point about hypocrisy, I am sure if you examined my daily diet under a microsocope, you'd be able to find ways in which I fail to measure up to what the video promotes; but my objectives were to create something that depicted an ideal - it is up to others to choose how close to that ideal they try to live. Hypocrisy implies criticism and although I may have used some light-hearted cauliflower analogies, I hope this was not construed as criticism by most people.<br /><br />By making the video I certainly didn't intend to imply that I am a paragon of virtue in this regard - like most people I have to make compromises and simply do the best I can. If that leaves me open to accusations of hypocrisy it's a price I am prepared to pay for the sake of getting something out there which spreads the word.Methuselahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09134860337125242027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6715049094354778809.post-8149491972014445532009-04-17T19:14:00.000+01:002009-04-17T19:14:00.000+01:00Although it passes a good message the video is too...Although it passes a good message the video is too biased and even close to hypocritical.<br /><br />If we've been evolving for 2 million years, and only now are eating produced goods (or whatever you call it), shouldn't the same be for farming (since we've only been doing it for 10,000 years?) <br /><br />Shouldn't the ideal be a true hunter-gatherer lifestyle be defended (and not a farming one)<br /><br />Shouldn't one not eat cows, or eat farm grown foods (which only exist for the last 0.5% of our life)?
