nom nom ..........a variation of Yum Yum I guess (shrug)

the rebuttal ........sort of http://hells-ditch.com/2012/08/archaeol ... aleo-diet/
the bottom line

Summing up what many considered to be the main point of the entire conference, she( Dr. Hoyes ) told reporters:

“Look, the diet itself is sound; it’s the philosophy that’s bullshit. Eat what you want. Just leave the damn cavemen out of it.”

You didn't realize that this was a parody article from the Onion?

I'm aware of the dangers involved in making assumptions. ..well most of the time.

Inspector Clouseau: Does your dog bite?
Hotel Clerk: No.
Inspector Clouseau: [bowing down to pet the dog] Nice doggie.
[Dog barks and bites Clouseau in the hand]
Inspector Clouseau: I thought you said your dog did not bite!
Hotel Clerk: That is not my dog.

My bad, sort of. I was merely paraphrasing what several commenters stated & got it wrong.

However, this is a satirical or parody type article. A spoof.

The first clue would be the tags directly below the headline:

Archaeologists Officially Declare Collective Sigh Over “Paleo Diet”
2012 AUGUST 6
tags: archaeology, paleo diet, ridiculousness
by Paul D Zimmer

The second clue would be that no institutions are mentioned, except the ficticious Ardipithecus Institute.

The third clue would be that when googling the names of the four persons 'quoted', none of them seem to be real. All references to these people lead only to this article.

BTW, this is my all time favorite quote from the Pink Panther movies. :lol:
