    Widespread cultivation of grains did not occur until about 10-12 thousand
    years ago. Likewise with animal husbandry and the production dairy products.
    Most mature, unprocessed legumes are toxic or indigestible and could not
    have been a significant part of the diet of paleos.

    Happy Holidays to everyone. I'm outta' here till probably Monday...
