People are often surprised when I talk to them about the don'ts of eating Paleo. The moment they hear that I avoid grains, dairy, and legumes, it's almost as if there are no more food sources left to sustain life... "What do you eat?" is always the first question.

I've really been enjoying reading Denise's unbiased blogs. She systematically dissects the inaccuracies that have become the various "common knowledge" which are actually harming us.
My favorite article she wrote is titled The Truth About Ancel Keys: We’ve All Got It Wrong; basically explaining the history behind the contents of today's food guides, and why they are wrong.
Sarah Ballantyne did such a fantastic job putting a group of posts together to as How To's and answers to so many Paleo questions that I'm going to stop typing so you can go over to her site for some initial Paleo education.
