Questions about the Paleo Diet

Why would I want to go on a diet typical for people of the caveman? Didn't the average caveman live until the age of 30? Isn't a big selling point to me!

... he was already very healthy - a former athlete used to training regiments. He didn't need to lose any weight but just wanted to lose body fat and get more toned.

I watched what he ate for breakfast and lunch and NO WAY could I follow that.

Was just reading about cavemen and their diets in National Geographic and thinking these folks didn't really live that long.

Mammoths are extinct. You can't do the paleo diet without mammoths.

Alien: We call that the terrible trumpeter. (Speaking of a mammoth.) What do you call it?

Human: We call it breakfast.
