Serious question to the paleo dieters... Why would we emulate a diet<br>
that resulted in a 25 year life span? I understand the bit about us<br>
being evolved to the diet, but we also were living short fast<br>
difficult lives at the time. Is that what we want to return to? It<br>
just seems counter intuitive to me.<br>
