What is certain is our ancestors did not eat industrial liquid vegetable oils and large amounts of sugar.
-
We have to be the only animal in nature that doesn't know what we should eat
-
The reason why some are opposed to this clean way of eating is because they’re all addicts - a subtle (almost unnoticeable for some) addiction to processed food, sugars, fast food, etc. They can’t grasp the idea that healthy food is medicine, and sometimes the things that don’t taste so great are way more beneficial.

Something else that I suspect was part of the "paleo diet" was periods of starvation.

What is certain is our ancestors did not eat industrial liquid animal produce and large amounts of industrially grown meat.

She says we don’t really have any adaptations to consuming meat and talks about our digestive tract being so long but fails to mention that our colon and cecum is so much smaller than that of our ape cousins. Also, isn’t it possible that we don’t have teeth like carnivores and claws like carnivores because tools and fire have been used for over a million years?

We never found a cave painting of a salad

This lady is wrong. Clearly the paleolithic people hunted their prey using their smart phones and then bragged about how tough they were on the paleonet.

She debunks an industry trying to make money on the "Paleo Diet".. but confirms the basic concept. I think the "Paleo" name only adds confusion to the discussion.. we should just all call it a "Non-Processed Whole Food" diet.

"We are omnivores-thank you for attending." 👏👏🎬

A note to clarify one point, the FORTRAN program in the ethnography book is on Hollerith cards which were invented in the 1880's, long before IBM was founded. Cheers from Canada.

What wild plants did pre agricultural humans eat in order to provide enough calories to function? Especially during ice ages lasting tens of thousands of years. This talk makes no sense.

Length of GI tracts: Humans: 20-30 feet long Lions: 20 or so Wolves: 20 or so Cows: 23-over 40 Stomach PH Humans: 1.5-3.5 Wolves: 1-2 Cows: 5.7-7.3 Our teeth are different because we use tools to kill and cut up prey. Why do so called doctors and professionals ignore this?

"advertising is very focused on masculinity, lots of meat" yea, woman eat carots
-
There was no debunking here . Only a rant that loops back leaving an open suggestion that paleo and other natural food diets are a better option that what we are mostly offered.
-
so if the plants were so unpalatable - did we eat more shore food? Claims, seaweed, fish, and tubers?
-
this was very interesting to watch and it helped getting things into perspective.thank you!

I feel like people really tend to mix up keto, carnivor and paleo a lot. Like on paleo eating just very greasy and meat heavy . . Some do it, but it is not what it is about. Eating lots of veggies, nutriendense and without isolated carbs like suggar and flours, food addatives as well as avoiding very commen foodsensetivities. The focus on meat is on high quality intead of quality and adding organ meat for their high nutritional value.

So I was with her at the beginning, okay archaeological records, measuring isn't accurate and the veg we cultivated are the ones we ate...but then she shows that we couldn't really eat those veg in large quantity and that they where unpalatable. Then she moves on to rediculous claims, true. And the rest kind of went off on a tangent.
