The Jordan Harbinger Show
1139: Fad Diets | Skeptical Sunday

Yeah, it's more painful even than watching the scene in Top Gun where Goose dies, to give you some kind of context about. Ooh, yeah, ouch, of course.

Caveman diet is also known as the paleo diet, and that's kind of where things get a little weird. How is that more weird than the guaranteed kidney stone diet? So they claim that they only eat things that cavemen ate. And that's just a weird claim to me to begin with.

So according to these people, cavemen basically only ate meat, seafood, eggs, nuts, seeds, some oils and vegetables that can be eaten raw like carrots, but not ones that have to be cooked like grains or beans. That's the theory.

So why would they not cook beans? It's hard to know exactly what people ate during the Paleolithic era because they didn't have writing. So they didn't leave written records there.

Sure, yeah. Hunter-gatherer tribes still exist today, so we can go see what do they eat. Basically, they eat not differently from what we eat. They eat meat and they eat plants, and they studied 256 different communities in one study, and there was only one of those communities that did not eat animal flesh of some kind or another. Your ex-vegan is showing a little bit, I think.

Yeah, I'm glad we don't have to talk about veganism during this. I bet you are. Mostly people eat what's around. They may have taboos against certain foods. There may be some animals that are considered gross to eat, like you and I are not going to eat a cockroach or a rat unless we're starving. Paleo, as a concept... is based on one book from the 1960s by an anthropologist named George Murdoch.

So it's extremely limited in scope, and it's just not an accurate representation of what people ate back then. What about it is inaccurate? People on the paleo diet eat all kinds of stuff that just wasn't available to paleolithic man. Broccoli and cauliflower are two really good examples.

cauliflower rice like how many paleo people eat cauliflower rice oh yeah that's like a staple of that thing you use it for everything yeah cavemen did not have cauliflower huh most of the domesticated plants we eat as modern human beings were created through agriculture which is post paleolithic era it's over the last 4 000 years and they bear no resemblance
