Paleo Week
The beauty of the Paleo Diet lies in the simplicity of it. Basically if it was walking, swimming or growing out of the ground you can eat it. But wait OT, grain grows from the ground. Ah yes it does, but man has to alter it before it is edible; harmful proteins (primarily gluten) are still present after processing, thus making grains toxic to all humans.
