> Your argument mostly seems to be "Paleo is invalid because it's not how ACTUAL CAVEMEN ate 10,000 years ago!"
No, my argument is that paleo is stupid pseudoscientific trash that has no place in any reasonable discussion of nutrition. The fact that actual 'cavemen' didn't eat that way is just further proof that it's stupid, because one of its selling points is that 'this is the diet the human body evolved for.' A clever scheme that its advocates use to avoid criticism (if the human body evolved for this diet, it must be healthy!)
> Let's agree that the "Paleo" diet should have a better name since stone age cavemen didn't eat that way, okay?
You and I might be able to agree on that but a lot of paleo advocates can't, because if they did, their entire business model would break down. They'd have to do the hard work of explaining why a diet of 'low carbs, seafood, nuts, and vegetables' is better than any of the 1000's of other similar diets that have cropped up over the years and have generally been debunked.
> Explain to me what, exactly, is unhealthy about the recommendations of the Paleo diet, rather than whining that "it's not really a stone age diet."
Well, too much emphasis on meat, for one. For example, as described by this link: http://thepaleodiet.com/the-pa...
But even if it's a perfectly healthy diet, that doesn't it's better than the modern agricultural diet. There is no need to reduce complex carbs, no need to eliminate legumes, and no need to blindly eliminate all processed foods from your diet.
> Are you confusing "eat more grass fed lean meat and fresh fish and seafood" with "eat nothing but meat?" I think you must be.
Huh? I think you're the one who's confused here. Fresh fish and seafood is meat, last time I checked.
