The Paleo diet has become one of the most popular dieting habits in the past decade; it consists of eliminating dairy, processed food, grains, starches, and alcohol from the diet and focusing only on vegetables, fruits, lean meats, seafood, and healthy fats (Wolf, Robb 2016).

If I wanted to eat a Paleo diet then I would have to get a completely different meal. It is obvious that humans have created many different ways to cook and prepare foods that were not used millions of years ago. Human bodies have evolved to be able to eat more diverse foods and are now able to digest almost anything edible; one evolutionary change includes the digestion of
