We Evolved To Eat Meat, But How Much Is Too Much?

But modern medicine tells us that too much meat is bad for us, so what’s a consumer to do?

During a workout at a CrossFit gym, a gathering spot for lots of paleo-enthusiasts, Durant told me it’s no longer a challenge for him to avoid the onslaught of bagels and pizza at every street corner. The paleo approach is to eliminate grains and processed food, which are relatively new to the human diet. And, as a result, Durant says, he no longer gets the spikes and dips in his moods, and he feels better.

Now, everyone from the American Cancer Society to theAmerican Heart Association and popular food writers such asMark Bittman tells us to eat less red meat.
