In this podcast, I'm going to talk about the paleo diet. People have asked me whether or not they should be more of a vegan or carnivore. I personally believe you should consume a diet with a combination of plants and animal products.

Several archeologists found direct evidence at a site in northern Israel of what people ate 780,000 years ago. It was a combination of plants and animals. In other places around the world, people would eat pretty much whatever they could get. 


Based on this article, the archeologists found that these humans ate a large range of plants, including:

 • Thistle seed

 • Water lilies 

 • Acorns 

 • Water chestnuts

 • Olives 

 • Some fruit (Fruit was very different then, it was much less sweet and was seasonal.)


These humans also consumed:

 • Elephant brains 

 • Whole animals 

 • Insects
