Why do people care how OTHERS eat? I don’t completely buy into the whole “paleo” movement, but I do think that grain is virtually useless, if maybe even harmful, and certainly not needed in the human diet. There seems little doubt on that.

At least in my personal life, I know no one who eats fast food ALL of the time and I’m sure that eating it a few times a week will have little discernible effect upon health. Hell, I’m in my mid-40′s, very healthy, have around 10% body fat and yet I eat sports bar food (usually a good healthy hamburger) along with a couple of brews up to 3 times in a week. I suppose I would look more “ripped” if I didn’t do that, but you also have to live a little. Also, not ALL “fast food” is horrible for you. You can certainly choose healthier options, even at Micky D’s. Watch the movie “Fat Head” for more on that.

Because Mcdonalds does not fall under conventional wisdom.

Not as “bad”? How are they “bad” at all? My current thoughts are that saturated fat is the single best fuel for the human body. I’d love to hear a thorough explanation of why this is not true – and if so, what could be better?

“Starch (carb) is designed for energy”

Actually carbohydrate is a macro nutrient, not designed for us, or any other animal.

“while meat (fat, protein) is designed to build and repair lean tissue”

Fat and protein are also macro nutrients, not specifically designed for human consumption. Even meat is not designed for human consumption.

“They are both crucial for proper bodily function.”

Yeah, metabolically, not dietarily. Big difference.

“It’s already been stated that extremes are not beneficial.”

That’s pretty vague, and subjective to individual opinion. I believe I have a right to defend myself, with lethal force is necessary. As such, I would not hesitate to blow someone’s head off with my gun that was in the process of trying to kill me.

I view this as perfectly sane and rational. Others would view it as extreme. What’s your take?

“without grains, the world would STARVE.”

So let me get this straight – human beings can not survive without mass producing crops that should not exist on such a scale, or at all in some cases (corn).

In other words, we have no place in the world, and there is no win/win solution to feeding our population without putting one up the back door of the environment.

Do you know how insane that sounds?

Monocrop agriculture is one of the most destructive practices ever thought up by humans. And you’re saying we need it to survive? This sounds like neo-conservative lose/lose/hold onto your ass type thinking.

As for the “something” argument, this is a great read
