Would you be able to eat a diet without grains?

Prereading

You can trace your ancestors on a family tree.

Reading

ancestors
I have decided that I am going to do the Paleo diet. I am going to start eating just like the first humans. Only meat and vegetables for me from now on. The Paleo diet is based on eating the foods that were obtained by hunting and gathering in the past. I will also eat fish, nuts and seeds. Our ancestors survived and were successful eating only these foods, so I believe it is the healthiest food choice for me.

teacher tips

The butcher can cut the meat exactly the way you want it.

Reading

butcher
I was eating lunch yesterday, when I realised that the quality of my meat was very bad. I am going to find a butcher that only uses meat that was grass-fed and raised outside in pastures. From now on, I refuse to eat any more meat from those huge industrial farms. It is not healthy to raise meat using the current techniques and I think it is cruel and unfair to the animals to have to live in those conditions.
Joint pain might be caused by inflammatory foods.

Reading

inflammatory
Many recent studies also show that grains and cereals are inflammatory and make your body swollen and painful. Plus, so many people are developing allergies to grains and gluten, so there must be a flaw in the way we are producing these foods as well. Grains are grown on fields so large that the only way to deal with pests is to use pesticides and toxic chemicals, which hurt humans. All of my fruits and vegetables will be organic and locally-grown.
Cow's milk is meant for cows.

Reading

meant
I will also stop drinking milk and eating any dairy products. Only babies need milk and that humans were never meant to drink milk from cows. Cow’s milk is only for baby calves. So, I am very excited for my new diet. I think it will be a way for me to lose weight and have more energy. It will be difficult to order in restaurants, but I think it’s pretty easy to just cook meat and vegetables at home.
