Why is your digestion perfect ? Why is AV against salt? Why does he recommend grain fed meat? I don't get the storey!

I ate some oysters today and I must say that it gives me a tremendous energy for the all day!
I didn't eat oysters for 3 months and my body was probably in need for some "marine" micronutrients.
Eating oysters is like eating an entire animal, which is a real whole food, contrary to muscles or even organs.
It also makes me think that variety is very important, even on a carnivorous diet.
I bought War of the Worlds yesterday and another Niven book. Thanks for the suggestion. Do you ever read Issac Asimov? I used his biography of science book (forget the title offhand) for a history of science course this year. I have heard good things about his work. I have a collection of his short stories, but haven't read them yet.
The average heights for modern humans include the elderly and middleaged generations - who were not raised on extremely high GI diets plus milk pumped full of artificial growth hormones (which as well as increasing height are causing girls to start puberty at 8 or 9). I've no doubt that a paleo diet would make people taller than the diet my grandparents were raised on. But I don't believe they would grow as tall as generation X.
i havent read the "primal books" in a few years but i think i remember Aajonus making no distinctions between conventional supermarket meat and organic grass-fed meat. i did , and still do disagree and find it kinda weird that he would hold factory farmed meat to the same quality standard as grass-fed free-range meat.
does anyone know if hes changed his opinion on this?
I have a standing order from a butcher, all the organs and suet for $30. Its for my dog I have way too much for one person but I'm not saying anything because I'm so happy to have such a great deal.
I didn't know what suet was when I started the diet, I originally thought it was some sort of organ! then I thought it was just the fat around the muscle and ordered some of that, I couldn't swallow it and nearly choked. I gave up on suet really and Jeff (tylerdurden) had mentioned it wasn't very nice anyway.
I have since perservered because marrow was such a pain, all those massive bones for a tiny bit of fat. I worked out the marrow was costing me around $60 a kilo.
All suet is not the same, some is quite revolting and makes me feel ill, I can tell now by looking at it and the suet I get now is 95% tasty and healthy!
Suet is the fat around the kidneys, softer than muscle fat harder than marrow.

I think being raised on a paleo diet would make most people shorter - insulin is a growth hormone, and eating high GI processed food like white bread, sugary cereals, and potato fries releases much more insulin, hence people grow taller. This is why the latest generation is taller than their parents. Along with all the growth hormones in milk. If you're eating a paleo diet with no milk past weaning and all low GI foods (except fruit which still can't compete with junk food in the GI charts) then you're not going to grow as tall. Children who were small for their age on a standard diet would probably grow taller on a paleo diet due to the high level of nutrients, and curing any health problems, and so would end up average height. However I don't think anyone would grow "tall". Stoneage people were around 5'5" (women) and 5'9" (men). They were taller than the early farmers (eating wholegrains so also on low gi diets, which contained far less nutrients) but they weren't tall by modern standards.
Didn't Weston Price discover that people on traditional diets were broader and shorter, and refined grains and sugar produced people with thinner skeletons who were taller? The former tended to be all the same height and shape, whereas the latter were all different. Pottenger's cats also, showed uniformity in size in the healthy group, while the unhealthy group were all different and tended to have overly long back legs.
Loren Cordain encourages his children to eat potatoes, dried fruit and yams, so as not to disadvantage them heightwise in our modern society, even though he says high glyceamic diets in childhood also increase risk of heart disease in adulthood.
I am rereading the Dune Series of 6 novels by Frank Herbert this summer. I watched the Dune movie recently and I love this quote, which I don't remember from the 1st book:
"Without change, something sleeps inside us and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken."

In Florida, you can by raw milk for pets only and it is marked "not for human consumption."

First test at five weeks Raw Paleo zero carbWhere are these tests? - there's no link, AFAIK. Also, title of topic should be "results" not "rusults" - thank god for a forum that finally allows one to correct spelling mistakes, after posting.
Second test at 19 weeks.
How can you explain some of the trouble people are having? What about the abnormal digestion of "ecohe23" on your yahoo group? - that is worrying.
I would love to believe you - as I said; I don't need salt for tast, I am just in a darn ( : about protein and fat digestion - which begins with our stomach acid, which the body must be able to produce so that we don't have putrefaction (with undigested food...) and many other "abnormal" signals.
Amen.
