OK -- thank you for pointing me to that lecture. I have just listened to the whole thing, and if there is a complaint about fluff, I would encourage that complainer to go listen to that talk from one end to the other with a finger on "pause" and a Google page open to continually look stuff up.

He is not ripping apart paleo at all, but showing in great detail why mouthing the usual lightweight ideas about why it is important don't pass scientific muster. He is doing that here too, of course.

@18:20 Egyptians eat more whole grains and at the same time they have a high infant mortality rate. Is he already going back on his correlation doesn't equal causation stance?

[David Ferrari]

Matt Lalonde is solid!

Ive never herd of anyone getting fat on paleo.

Matt, states on various occasions that grain,pseudo-grain farming is unsustainable. What does he base this claim on? monocroping, agrochemical use, lack of rotation, etc. Prehispanic cultures managed organically grown crops and effectively fed millions quite sustainably, so I am interested on what he bases this claim.
