Brian’s right here! Wrangham’s book, Catching Fire, is excellent read for any one interested in understand how our diet made us who we are. I would guess that he would not agree with the whole of the paleo diet, as he’s a vegetarian, but he does agree that the modern world is processing our food too much. He comes to this conclusion not because our ancestors didn’t eat processed food, but more simply because the processing of food today is actually providing us with too many useless calories, since the more processed the food the more our digestive system is able to extract from it. So he believes that we’d all do much better on a diet that consisted of whole foods, similar to the paleo philosophy. The book does a great job of walking through the evolutionary steps that tubers, meat, and cooking most likely heavily influenced. And spends a good amount of time explaining why a raw food diet is just plain a bad plan all around.
ps. Tough Mudder is going to rock.
