I don't agree with everything that Christina says, at all, however she makes a very valid point that there is "no one ancient paleo diet"/"no one diet that's right for everyone". We actually need meat, and people 200,000 years ago to maybe 50 years ago couldn't get Vitamin B12 from anything other than meat or dairy, for instance (B12 was only discovered in 1948). Her assertion that some ancient people could have got all their nutrients from plants is therefore wrong, they would have perished with Anaemia. She is correct in saying that the majority of our diet is domesticated species, however that's not true for fish which is an entire food group that is largely unchanged and we eat it as it appears in the wild.

Also, and I'm not saying this as pro-paleo, but she is incredibly cynical of paleo to the point of ridiculousness. I mean she calls it a diet fad, when there is in fact science behind it and it is studied professionally as a science, and she nitpicks by saying that paleo people ate the organs of animals and we only eat the "meat" (ie muscle) which is also wrong because a lot of the pro-paleo actually do say to eat the organs and not just the muscle meat (do with that information what you want). So her cherry picking is a little obvious.
