The Paleo/Primal lifestyle (and in passing, CrossFit) are the subjects of a skeptical but grudgingly admiring article in today’s New York Times: “The New Age Caveman and the City.” Call it a fad if you will, but I challenge you to assemble a random sampling of Paleo-eaters/high intensity exercisers and vegan/vegetarian long slow distance enthusiasts…by any metric, performance or aesthetic, the “caveman” types will seem almost a different species.
