The Paleo Diet Is a Paleo Fantasy

Paleo lifestyle trends are popular at the moment?but they are rooted in evolutionary myths, says evolutionary biologist Marlene Zuk of the University of California?Riverside. Her new book is Paleofantasy: What Evolution Really Tells Us About Sex, Diet, and How We Live.
Your book is about pseudoscientific ideas you call "paleofantasies." What are they?
They stem from the idea that evolution makes minuscule changes over millions of years, so we haven't had enough time to adapt to the modern industrial world?and that we would be healthier and happier if we lived more like our ancient ancestors.
Is there any truth to the idea that we haven't evolved fast enough to cope with modern life?
To some extent it is true. Our bodies are ill-suited for sitting at computers all day, for example. Because humans evolved in an environment where they were not crouched over computers, sitting that way all day is going to have ill effects. But it's more nuanced than that. Being bipedal has a lot of costs on the human skeleton, too. Should we all long to be quadrupeds? It just doesn't make sense.
What is driving the tendency to idealize the way ancient humans lived?
There is this caricature that organisms evolve until they get to a point when they're perfectly adapted to their environment, then heave this big sigh of relief and stop. Anything that happens to them after that is disastrous.
You see this attitude in what can be referred to as "paleo-nostalgia"?the notion that we were all better off before agriculture, or civilization, or the Industrial Revolution. It's not to say life has been unmitigatedly getting better. But it's more helpful and accurate to see that all organisms are constantly evolving. There has been no point in our past when we were perfectly adapted to our environment.
I'm not dismissing the idea that you need to look at our evolutionary heritage to think about what's best for us healthwise. But when you start plucking out pieces in an oddly specific way, you can run into trouble.
Are paleo diets, which usually involve eating lots of meat and avoiding grains or dairy, examples of this type of specific selection?
These are predicated on the idea that there was a certain way humans ate 100,000 or 15,000 years ago?the era people want to hark back to varies. I think everybody agrees that we evolved eating certain things and we're going to be very unhealthy if we subsist on Diet Coke and Cheetos. But it gets more complicated when you look at the details. Should we eat a lot of meat, less meat? Should we eat dairy?
How much do we know about early human diets?
We don't really know what they were eating. It's turning out that they may have eaten more starch and carbohydrates than we had realized. They also ate different things in different parts of the world. So it's hard to come up with this one perfect human diet that everybody was eating. Plus our genes have changed in the last 10,000 years. Lactase persistence?the ability to digest milk as adults?is the poster child for this. Our genes have changed extremely rapidly so that at least some populations of humans can digest milk into adulthood.
And just as with lactose, it turns out that in human populations that consume a lot of starch, there are more copies of genes that allow starch breakdown. All of this suggests that evolution is happening all the time and much more quickly than people think.

Big Three Spotlight 'Backlash' Over President Obama's Compliment; Omit First Lady's 'Single Mother' Gaffe
ABC, CBS, and NBC's Friday morning shows all devoted air time to President Obama labeling California Attorney General Kamala Harris "the best-looking attorney general in the country" at a fundraiser on Thursday. Unsurprisingly, a panel on NBC's Today tried to explain away the remark. Willie Geist asserted, "I think he [Obama] was making a joke." CBS This Morning's Norah O'Donnell was tougher on the President: "Maybe, [it] was not the right thing to say."
However, the Big Three newscasts didn't report that Mrs. Obama also got caught in a verbal misstep on Thursday. ABCNews.com's Arlette Saenz devoted a Friday morning item to how Michelle Obama mistakenly referred to herself as a "single mother" during an interview with WCAX, a CBS affiliate in Vermont.
Minelli brushed aside the apparent controversy: "I'm sure she's happy he said it. I'd be happy. I think it was just a normal thing for a man to say....It's amusing, and it's also very nice. I think any woman would like it." Roker? that "it's not like he said, 'she's smokin' hot', or anything."
Morales then pointed out that "some people are saying, you know, we're in a day and age where...women, especially of her position, should be...given credit for what she's accomplished....not how they look." Roker also noted how "folks on the other side of the aisle have said had that been a Republican who made that comment, that people would have jumped all over it. So they say what's good for the goose is good for the gander."
The other panelists all replied by acting as apologists for the President:
NATALIE MORALES: ...I think it's an interesting debate. It certainly sparks a lot of talk and...I kind of feel like if, you know, she has accomplished a lot. I don't think the President meant that in any way except for just saying, "oh" ? he gave her all the praise ahead of time ? and then at the end said, "By the way, she happens to be a very good-looking woman."
MINNELLI: Yes.
GEIST: I think we're all against objectifying women.
MINNELLI: I think all women like that.
GEIST: I think he was making a joke, he was making a joke.
MORALES: He did not mean it in that way.
ROKER: Absolutely.
By contrast, all three CBS This Morning anchors were unwilling to explain away the Democrat's remark. Even open Obama supporter Gayle King didn't run to his defense:
Story Continues Below Ad ?
NORAH O'DONNELL: And some critics have called President Obama's administration a boy's club dominated by men. Well now, the President is getting some flak for something he said in California yesterday. It happened at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser, which was closed to cameras. While he praised California's attorney general, Kamala Harris, the President called her ?? quote, 'By far, the best-looking attorney general in the country'. There was a lot of backlash online ? social media, Twitter.
I think we all know, sometimes, you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.
GAYLE KING: (laughs) No, you can't.
O'DONNELL: Things just come out of your mouth sometimes. (laughs)
KING: Even when you hit the rewind.
CHARLIE ROSE: And even after he said how great she was and how smart she was ? I mean, come on.
O'DONNELL: Yeah. He was trying to compliment her, but it, maybe, was not the right thing to say ? yeah.
ABC's Good Morning America spent the least amount of time on the issue. News anchor Josh Elliot teased correspondent Jonathan Karl's reporting on the controversy by hyping that President Obama is "feeling the heat...raises eyebrows with surprising comments made at a fundraiser about California's top prosecutor, calling her the best-looking attorney general in the country. His opponents calling him sexist, both sides weighing in all night." Karl merely summarized what had happened:
JONATHAN KARL: Kamala Harris, one of the fastest rising Democratic stars in the country...is even mentioned...as a possible future presidential candidate. But at a fundraiser last night, a closed fundraiser, the President said of Harris ? quote, "She is brilliant and she is dedicated and she is tough. She also happens to be, by far, the best-looking attorney general in the country."
Now, some of the President's own allies have taken offense to that. I talked to a senior White House official this morning who would say only that Harris and the President have been friends for a long time and that he went out of his way last night and on many other occasions to talk about her many qualifications, not just the way she looks.

How the New York Political Scandal Comes Off Like a Cheesy Gangster Movie
The unfolding New York political scandal is the stuff of movies: an alleged attempt to rig the city?s mayoral election that got six politicians?both Republicans and Democrats?arrested. It's complete with tales of bribery and, of course, a land deal.
And if anyone does want to write a movie about it, they can just use the criminal complaint by federal prosecutors. The dialogue therein includes a gold mine of quotable lines from the defendants that sound like they belong in a cheesy gangster flick.
Here?s the gist of what happened, according to prosecutors: Democratic state Sen. Malcolm Smith wanted to run as a Republican in the New York City mayoral race, and he?s accused of bribing GOP leaders with the help of Queens Republican City Councilman Dan Halloran. An undercover agent posing as a real-estate developer provided the money, and Halloran also allegedly accepted money from him in connection with a Spring Valley land deal. The mayor of that town, Noramie Jasmin, is accused of taking bribes to support the project.
Now, on to the most quotable parts of the investigation, according to the criminal complaint:
?That's politics, that's politics, it's all about how much. Not about whether or will, it's about how much, and that's our politicians in New York, they're all like that, all like that. And they get like that because of the drive that the money does for everything else. You can't do anything without the f---ing money." ? Halloran?
A cooperating witness, who taped many conversations, met with Halloran at a Manhattan restaurant in September. Halloran said he needed money for his congressional campaign. The witness offered him money, and Halloran, in turn, said he could help secure money within the city budget for the witness. This line arose in the course of their conversation.
?Money is what greases the wheels?good, bad, or indifferent.? ? Halloran?
Halloran, who allegedly got $7,500 from the witness, capped off their meeting with this line.
?I?d say, ?If I even give you a nickel more, you?d have to stand on the Empire State Building, and drop every person you endorsed, and hold Malcolm up and say he?s the best thing since sliced bread. Matter of fact, he?s better than sliced bread.? ? ? Smith
Smith talked with an undercover agent, posing as a real-estate developer, and a cooperating witness about bribes they made on his behalf to party committee leaders. He wondered if the leaders were delaying providing a certificate that would help Smith get on the GOP ticket because they wanted more money. Smith told the agent not to give any more money to the leaders, adding this bit of advice.
"The one that I like I'm going to pick. So, if I like yours, I pick you.... If I don't like it you can stick [it] where the sun doesn't shine." ? Jasmin
Spring Valley Mayor Jasmin met with the cooperating witness in August 2011 about a parcel of land she wanted to acquire for the town, that would then go to bid among private developers. She dropped this line when discussing how she would she pick a developer.
?Oh, I can assure you, I don?t know you at all.? ? Jasmin
Jasmin allegedly coached undercover agents on how to present themselves at a board of trustees meeting about the land project. She was asked if the main undercover agent, posing as a real-estate developer, should act as if he had met Jasmin before. This is how she answered.
