An alternative-diet enthusiast explains why he isn’t ‘paleo’. (HT: Ray Sawhill)
He had me at #1.
1. I Really Like Cheese
Which is why I named this blog CHEESESLAVE. But cheese is verboten on the paleo diet.
Yes, I know some paleo people eat cheese, but many of them think that eating a chunk of cheddar is equivalent to making a pact with the devil. You see, according to their logic, cheese is a “neolithic” food, and therefore not paleolithic. At best, it’s considered a compromise food for most paleo folks.
It’s true, cheese is neolithic. And yet it has been a staple food among humans for over 10,000 years.
Of course, as a Biblical creationist, I don’t believe we’ve been around for 10,000 years - nor, for that matter, that all humans started out as hunter-gatherers rather than many practicing agriculture from the get-go, according to Genesis.
And so I therefore also agree with other arguments he makes against slavish adherence to a ‘hunter-gatherer’ diet, even if for slightly different reasons than him.
Though I love cheese, too. 
Anyway, I just found it an interesting read.
