    Paleofantasy

    http://www.salon.com/2013/03/10/pale...age_delusions/

    Someone at my crossfit gym told me apropo of nothing that they are 100% paleo.

    I said, "So you do you eat your own poop before or after you fuck your sister?"

    Not, really, but I should.

    i've used the lactose point and the point regarding how stone age peoples ate whatever the hell they could

    hardcore crossfit people are their own special kind of crazy

    Fanatics of any stripe are fanatics. Ergo, they have a defect of perspective fueled by their own fanaticism. C'est la vie.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    The diet itself is not such a bad thing. The problem is the insane pseudoscientific nonsense used to justify it.

    Nuts veggies and meat; whole foods no processed junk. Body builders have been on to that shit since who knows when. They just didn't disrespect the ever living shit out of a dozen different scientific disciplines trying to justify it, they just called it "eating clean". Now its just repackaged as another fucking lifestyle fad so soccer moms and beta male office workers can feel like they are bad ass hunter gatherers after narrowly avoiding a herniated disc from trying to power snatch 90lbs 150 times in 10 minutes.

    Same as high intensity interval training, coaches having been doing it for decades, only without the cavalier attitude towards potentially career ending crippling injuries because they actually care about the well being of their athletes, cause you know, they play real sports and shit and don't give a fuck about who can work out the fastest.

    I missed my chance

    Twenty years ago I was reading something about the newest diet trend and told my wife-to-be that somebody should write The Paleolithic Cookbook. It would make millions.

    All true.

    As an aside and sort of part and parcel to this I find it curious that people think they can buy health and not work for it or purchase spiritual healing or even to think that this could be sold.

    This world of today where everything is monetized and commercialized. It is losing sight of what matters. It is truly fascinating to watch.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    Not really since you are not suppose to COOK your food in the Paleo-diet, So, you would be a charlatan teaching to cook what you are not suppose to be cooking in the first place!

    On the otherhand, you would be a rich charlatan, and by then everyone else can just suck it!!!

    Didn't know that. I've never actually read anything about the trend. Just knew that the title keeps popping up in media.

    I was an anthropology major when I came up with the idea. Neanderthal-type people as well as modern types (with some inbetweens who were not clearly one or the other) in the last glacial max periods cooked at least some of their food. It gave them access to more calories. A lot of natives in my neck of the woods don't cook organ meat but they smoke and dry the brawn to preserve it.

    I would like to be a rich charlatan at something. Then I would change my name and devote all my time to kung fu.

    If you mean the lifestyle fad, cooking is allowed.

    If you are talking about our actual pleistocene ancestors, had you read the article you would have noticed the mention of recently discovered archeological evidence of mulled and cooked grains *gasp* carbohydrates *gasp* from 30,000 YA.
