You seem to be ignoring nutriets. Minerals and vitamins. Dairy has calcium,
grains I believe have various B vitamins as well as protein, whole grains or
whole wheat products can provide a *lot* of fiber...
A book on Australia I just read noted the aborigines trading millstones to
grind grass seeds in the dry areas. I'm not sure excluding grains is
completely paleolithic. Sure, what we have now has been selected up in size,
but they got selected up because hunter-gatherers were eating their ancestors
in the first place...
