Precisely why we Paleo's eat grass fed and wild game and organically grown leafy greens or from our own gardens when possible.....many locals in my area raise livestock this way. We just purchased 90 pounds for $4.00 lb. of every cut imaginable but not much ground. Last I checked, Australian aboriginals and Inuit's in Alaska a generation or two past didn't evolve in grasslands per say. Additionally there are other cultures in South America who have lived off the rain forest vegetation, water creatures and land mammals. I'm not one to throw out the concept behind eating low carb/grain free/minimal to no processed food for health simply because much of our food supply is tainted. The main point I think Grant is making is that modern industrialized people are not healthy and our disease rates prove it. Further, outward appearances don't always tell the whole story. If you don't believe that look at how many supposedly healthy, skinny people have heart attacks. My own Grandfather lived to 100 but always had a pot belly. He ate seafood that he often caught and vegetables and was moderate in the consumption of deserts and alcohol and did not smoke. He kept busy with work until 88 walked and worked outside for exercise. He wasn't a Paleo eater but he ate a natural low carb diet. My father on the other hand did the opposite for most of his life and became a diabetic at about 55 and only lived to 76........
