The Skeptic's Guide to Paleo | Dr. Shawn Baker, Trevor Connor, and Dr. Mark Smith - 1h
A nice chat between researchers and doctors, a bit of history that was interesting as well.
Trevor Connor is the CEO of the Paleo Diet. He inherited the company from Dr Loren Cordain who is the founder of the diet. Mark Smith is the company's Chief Science Officer. Both Mark and Trevor were graduate students of Dr Cordain.
Favorite quote
"Somewhere out there, there is somebody who is going to live a long healthy life eating nothing but McDonalds. But they are way on the outside of that bell shaped curve. If your that 1 in 10M person, I wish I was you, that would be alot of fun. Thats not the way most of us are. There is no one perfect diet for everybody, everyone has to modify it"
