A new study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health authored by researchers at the University College of London has found that the more vegetables (and, to a lesser extent, fresh fruit) you eat the better your chances of longevity.
As the popular press is reporting, Oyinlola Oyebode, the study's lead researcher, said in a prepared statement that "We all know that eating fruit and vegetables is healthy, but the size of the effect is staggering." The research established correlation, not causation, but the findings are consistent with already-established guidelines from worldwide governmental health agencies. If you want to live a long and healthy life, eat plenty of veggies.

This. Not to mention the fact that, when you eat most fruits and vegetables, the seeds pass through your body undigested and have a nice warm fertilizer pack to sprout from when excreted. Unlike grains, where you actually destroy the germ part of the seed when your body digests it.
For me it's been Paleo for almost 2 years and I doubt I'll ever go back!
To be oneself, and unafraid whether right or wrong, is more admirable than the easy cowardice of surrender to conformity
