It's a shame that the writer is misrepresenting the Paleo diet and also ignoring the distinction between processed and ultra-processed foods.

Depends on one's heritage... My ancestors were Irish and Scots respectively and none of them would have recognised olive oil, let alone spices. Oily fish would have been their best health food.

My Mum was one of the 'not that foreign muck' persuasion for many years, olive oil for ears, pasta for other people, and no fruit in salads until Tui Flowers convinced her and the rest of the fifties housewives that there were better ways. We live and learn, change being inevitable.
I'll happily use her cookbooks though, and my grandmothers - and even though I grin at scone dough pizza with tinned spaghetti and pineapple chunks, I'll still happily make it once in a blue moon just for the nostalgia of it. Only my version has way more vegies than my grandmothers!
