Given that roughly ten thousand years have passed (about 50 generations, I guess), we can't have evolved all that much

50 generations? I think you're missing a zero.

Anyway, since this thread is now apparently about losing weight, never mind.

Of course I am. Sorry! And thanks for pointing it out.

So, not sure if off-topic, but are bizarre diet cults part of the Strange Times thing? People are so utterly confused by the idea that maybe their dietary needs are different from someone else's and they can't cope so they retreat into wacky things based on appeals to authority, and then preach it from the mountain tops because at least here's something I can wrap my head around in this sea of weird shit?

One thing peleo types are good for is spreading the word that animal fat>veggie fat.

Unfortunately, people will likely reject that fact along with the other bullshit, or something

Sally Fallon was circulating that information before the Paleo thing took off, anyway:

http://www.amazon.com/Nourishing-Traditions-Challenges-Politically-Dictocrats/dp/0967089735

I get tired of hearing from the Sally Fallon fanatics just as much as I get tired of any other fanatics, but overall she seems pretty reasonable and grounded in reality.

Oh yeah, that's a great damned book. I've got it staring at me from my desk this moment.

I have only thumbed through it. And will probably never read it. But it seems full of good research.

What triggers these retarded fads?  I understand people feeling alive discovering new foods. But what gives fuel to people live off lemon juice,chili powder, fiber tablets, or noni juice?

I remember people were going apeshit over grapefruits.
Also I feel sorry for anyone who's allergic to corn.

They want to sit on their fat asses on the sofa and look like Brad Pitt. The fact that they're dumb enough to believe that's even possible makes them highly susceptible to fad-marketing.

I wonder if Paleo-humans had fad diets. In 400,000 BC were sun-dried purple bugs all the rage? Did cooking food with fire start out as a fad diet?

For that matter, were there cave-Ron Popiels traveling from cave to cave trading skins for the latest hide-scraping, spear-sharpening, berry-smashing multi-tool?
