    You're missing the point, Lee. In those pre-medical-science times, that was
    doing just fine.

    The question is whether replacing calories from paleolithic foods like meat,
    fish, fruits and vegetables with calories from non-paleo foods like milk and
    bread did anything to improve human health. The archeological evidence is
    that people became much less healthy at the dawn of agriculture.
