Dear Mark and Staff,

I am currently on the Paleo Diet and I am enjoying the transformation of my body. I have read many nutritional books in hopes of finding the ultimate diet. I could not find one convincing argument for eating grains. All of them say eat grains because they provide nutrients and fiber. I looked at the nutrient profile of these grains and came up with the conclusion that green vegetables provide higher doses of these nutrients in lower calories. These vegetables also provide fiber.

However I am currently considering adding legumes to my diet. I feel that Loren Cordain did not put enough emphasis on why a person should not eat legumes in his book. I would really appreciate some clarification on why legumes should not be in the Paleo diet.

I had an email exchange with SoG where I said I probably wasn’t going to do it. That was about 235 Tweets ago! There have been some really good exchanges (including my confession about dipping into the Blue Bell Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream! )

Have a wonderful #primal day!!

Hey Mark, can you do a post on the sustainability impact of canned vs frozen foods? I’d like to give my money to the more environmentally-friendly option when I’m not buying local.

Still trying to wrap my head around Twitter & the site & the tiny texts. But I got a good laugh from some of the tweets! The more PBers out there the better.

Reading those comments you happened to post made me feel better Mark.

I still find myself cheating with some carbs.

Last night I got home from Crossfit and inhaled like 15 Sesame Flax seed Tortilla chips with salsa.

Damn Carbs–once I pop I cant stop.
