Paleo Evolution If something's worth doing...it's worth doing. A commenter told me that they want to go paleo, but they are post veg*n and still have an aversion to all things fatty. I was there.

Paleo Diet: 'New Evolution Diet' Author De Vany on Food and Exercise Most New Year's resolutions have an awfully short shelf life. By the end of January, folks who swore they would lose weight and shape up may already be back on the Krispy Kremes.

They couldn’t find one… Now they just blow it off as ‘nobody will ever know… it’s just weird science.’
