    And this is exactly the kind of comment that differentiates those who are
    interested in diet from those like you who seem to be interested arguing
    just for argument's sake.

    No, I do not know this, Lee. There is no evidence that I've seen that dairy,
    grains and legumes are healthy additions to the diet, given that one must
    subtract paleo foods from the diet in order to add them, i.e., there is no
    evidence that replacing calories from paleo foods with those from non-paleo
    foods is likely to increase health or longevity. If you disagree then don't
    be an ass: just post your evidence.
