Paleolithic diet is in the news. Only the stuff eaten by our ancestors is recommended. Everything introduced by the agricultural revolution is out, let alone the contemporary gobbledygook. This includes grains and dairy products, which dominate today’s diet across the Atlantic. In addition, cooking is out. Our ancestors ate their food raw. Paleolithic diet has attracted a good number of critics, it goes without saying. Some of them are scientists, who point out that quite a bit of evolution has taken place over the millennia. What was true of our ancestors is not necessarily true of us. And so on, and so forth. As I bump into a growing number of arguments and counterarguments concerning our diet on the World Wide Web, I cannot but smile on occasion. Paleolithic food is right in front of us one way or another. If not by choice, it will be foisted upon us by circumstances. What with climate change and the upcoming glaciation, much of what we eat today will be history. In short, the debate is misplaced. As far as the diet is concerned, prehistory and posthistory cannot possibly differ very much, if at all. The only question is how much time we will have for the return. This time around, the change in the diet is bound to be rather swift, I am afraid.
