A Logical Framework for YOUR Diet

Food for Thought The Ancestral Diet is a logical framework applied to modern humans — not a historical reenactment.  ~Andrew Badenoch Chew on this.  How many times do you or have you thought:  Is this Paleo? I know – “Paleo is so “passé”. Is it? Or did we just need something new to call it...
