Caveman Video Channel
Sunday, May 20, 2012Posted in category Ancestral Health, Paleo/Primal
CBS San Francisco has become the caveman channel, especially since Dr. Kim Mulvihill of CBS 5 went paleo. In this video, she does a great intro for folks interested in eating real food via the paleolithic lifestyle. Here is another story on CBS 5 about Olympic downhill skier, Eva Twardokens, who went paleo to heal her body from years of abuse (high-intensity sports and surgeries). Here is the archive for CBS San Francisco for paleo/ancestral health.

The TV reporter seems to eat a lot of fruit, and her avoidance of fat is excessive too. Maybe that’s a difference between paleo and primal.

Yes, I agree with you, Woody, that her “paleo” diet was generally askew from what I’ve gathered from MDA: especially her bad-mouthing fatty meats and saturated fats.
My saturated fat intake is, God, it’s gotta be 500% of the government’s daily RDA, and I continue to get leaner and stronger and old pants are too baggy. The anti-fat claims are absolute lies.
And then she also declared, “no dairy”. Well, for her, maybe! But she should speak for herself, as many of us who eat paleo/primal are not at all lactose intolerant and have no problem with dairy. Mark Sisson has also become far more tolerant – and even complimentary – of dairy.
So I would never share those videos with people because the, “No fats.”, “Lean meats only.”, and “No dairy” claims make paleo/primal seem like, well, just another impossible-to-sustain fad diet. I know that I sure as hell wouldn’t have been interested if somebody had shown me those as an intro: I would’ve run the other way.
