Question by Babs: Paleo diet vs. vegetarian diet (no healthy grains or beans?!?!?!)?
I have been hearing about the Paleo diet a lot over the past few weeks. What I don’t understand is why you can’t have beans like Adzuki that have health benefits? Or healthy grains like Quinoa, millet, buckweat groats.. I want to try this way of living, but I have always been brought to assume that mostly vegetarian diets with beans is the healtheist diet. Can anyone help me understand a little better? Thanks a bunch
*By the way I am reposting this to Food and Drinks because it accidentally got posted to only Veg & vegan channel before.. oops

It’s because that diet is based on the way “Cavemen” ate..before modern agriculture. Beans, quinoa etc. were not cultivated yet that long ago.
