Debunking The Paleo Diet

[Phedder]

Very interesting and well put together TED talk, a worthwhile watch for everyone here :nod:

She starts off debunking, but not due to being a hater of the idea. This should be watched to the end.

I will eat as close to 'paleo' as possible. I eat as processed free as I can. I do however, make my own pasta from flour which is processed.

After debunking the 'link' between food and our ancestors, it has not killed the idea of avoiding crap food.

I am glad to live here in NZ with a variety of fresh produce and grass feed cattle.

She is in fact a supporter of junk avoidance. I think she may have presented this knowing haters would be there, and it debunked paleo, yet highlighted the purpose of it: to eat a variety of fresh and unprocessed foods.

Obama has supported Monsanto, essentially putting suspicious practices above the law with the 'Monsanto Protection Act. http://rt.com/usa/monsanto-bill-blunt-agriculture-006/

She has a sound presentation, and though fads come and go, healty eating must remain a common sense choice.

Really worth watching the whole thing. I think whole foods are the way to go and sugar is increasingly becoming an insurmountable enemy to fight these days. Anything you eat that comes out of a packet is loaded with it. Even fruit has been bred to be sweeter and has more fructose than it would have in the past.

sugar and salt, over-rated but oh so tasty!
