<div>I've never claimed that it will save the world. However, I suspect that it can be considerably less expensive than you think, both in personal terms and in terms of resource usage. For instance:</div>

<div>Not if that mix includes plenty of carbohydrates, especially but not only simple ones such as HFCS. I agree that avoiding overconsumption is crucial. Modest underconsumption is even better (and keeps the costs of even a top-class paleo diet down -- no need to eat huge grass-fed steaks or pounds of salmon).</div>
