When I originally came across this article in the Times, I thought it was for a new exhibit at the Museum of Natural History. Never in my wildest imaginings did I think there would be people out there trying to emulate a “paleo” lifestyle. Here’s my favorite quote from the article:

Andrew Sanocki, 38, a former Navy officer, explained that he preferred working out on an empty stomach near the end of a fast, and then following up with a large meal. This is a common caveman schedule, intended to reflect the exertion that ancient humans put into finding food. It is as if, Mr. Sanocki explained, “we’ve gone out and killed something, and now we have to eat it.”

Another caveman trick involves donating blood frequently. The idea is that various hardships might have occasionally left ancient humans a pint short. Asked when he last gave blood, Andrew Sanocki said it had been three months. He and his brother looked at each other. “We’re due,” Andrew said.

Final Questions: Who is going to win in the impending war between Vegans and the Paleos? And what will happen to the rest of us caught in the crossfire?
