This is veering off into lala land. I think that we might agree on the following:
1. Moderation! In our opinions. 2. It seems to be clear that Primal works for some people, at least for some things -- maybe for all things, that is, maybe there are no down sides to the benefits for these people, I don't know, I'm no scientists or doctor. But too many whom we have no reason to believe a priori are complete idiots claim that it does work for them. 3. Primal is not the only reasonable diet nor a universal prescription. There are millions out there who do just fine -- that means, not only remaining more or less normal weight, but in normal health -- on carb-based diets, including traditional Native Americans and my Filipina mother. (She has controlled type 2 diabetes for decades eating controlled amounts of white rice, bread, pasta, gawdawful styrofoam chicken breasts, and no fat or sugar or potatoes.) 4. For centuries if not millenia people over the world have thrived on very different diets without succumbing to obesity or diabetes or heart disease or nervous tics or herpes. Frozen whale blubber! Oatmeal! Posho! Chapattis! Locusts and beetle larvae! Milk-and-blood, yum! 5. Let's leave evolution and cave men out of it. To explain Primal or anything else by supposing we know what our distant ancestors did is to attempt to explain the still-not-completely-known by the entirely conjectural. I personally "feel" -- that's as scientific as it gets -- that eating huge amounts of refined sugar, Cheetos, Little Debbie Cakes, deep fried Mars Bars, or synthesized "pork rinds" -- note: real pork rind is wonderful! -- can't be healthy. For what *that's* worth. Can we please get back to helmets? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
