Vindicated! Paleo...Shmaleo. Here’s to Bread!

(Meanwhile coconut and cow are fine...) I’ve tried explaining to this friend that none of the foods she is eating today were even around 10,000 years ago and not to mention that the average lifespan back then was 45, so that I’m not really sure why we are eager to reproduce that diet.
