just read a book about the paleo diet. hadn’t heard about this concept until a friend mentioned it on facebook. the book has some interesting idea. basically the concept is: lean meat, fruit, vegetables all okay. grains and dairy not okay. there’s discussion about the acid vs alkaline levels in food. supposedly the imbalance is our current modern diets is what causes a lot of the chronic diseases we see today. makes a lot of sense on it’s own, but when taken together with what i’ve read from michael pollan and jonathan safran foer it doesn’t provide a comprehensive system of thinking about food. working through what makes sense for me. vegetarianism is common sense with all the factory farming. processed food is bad, salt is bad, but what about good food. raw food is a great idea in concept, but how is it practical?

There are many variations on the paleo diet. Loren Cordain’s take on it is just one. Raw paleo diet is another. It is harder, as you have to carefully source your meat. Vegetables are hard to digest uncooked, and you don’t want to overdo the fruit. This page lists all the paleo variations out there: http://paleodiet.com/definition.htm
