Paleolithic man was a scavenger more than a hunter and often dined on carrion (animals that are already dead). No, I have not had eaten road kill today.

Were you there when Paleo man ate carriorn(animals that are already dead)??? Did you see caveman eat carrion (animals that are already dead)? Hmmm i wonder how carrion (animals that are already dead) tastes... Hmmm did you know Paleo man would have beat the living shit out of you cause you are dusche? That would make you carrion (animals that are already dead). [/quote]

Early man as primarily scavenger is pretty well accepted fact by archeologists/anthropoligists. It doesn't fit with the romantic notion of man as the noble hunter/gatherer. Early man was also prey for many predators. Science often uncovers things that don't fit with our modern notions.

I just can't believe that people buy into some of the BS marketing that is thrown at desperate dieters. This diet is hilariously preposterous. First, many of the conditions cited that early man was spared based on his diet only develop decades past early man's life span. Second, early man had to expend more calories in the pursuit of his food than modern man, regardless of the type of food. Even if you want to believe that early man dined on freshly killed meat from his hunt all the time, he didn't drive over to Safeway in his minivan, park in the front row and have assistance carrying in his groceries.

If you burned the calories that early man used just to survive, you would be free to eat pasta or meat or ice cream avoiding obesity and the long term affects. [/quote]

You're right.  Paleo man didn't goto Safeway from grocceries.  He went to Giant to get carrion. (animals that are already dead)[/quote]
