The Paleo Diet seeks to mimic the hunting-gathering menu of our paleolithic ancestors. Modern agriculture feeds a lot of people in this country. But Loren Cordain, PhD, doesn't think it should be feeding you - or anyone else, for that matter. Cordainis a researcher, professor of health and exercise science at Colorado State University and author of the popular book "The Paleo Diet" (Wiley, 14.95). He believes people should be eating diets more akin to those of our early hunting-gathering ancestors,rather than those that evolved under a more civilized society. According to Cordain, DNA evidence shows that basic human physiology and our dietary needs are about the same as they were 40,000 years ago.
