    Not particularly. I’m aware of the importance of healthy nutrition, to avoid disorders such as obesity, diabetes, cholesterolemia, intolerances and so on. But I’m not very careful with the nutrient contents balance in foods, or with the way of cooking foods. I try to eat different foods every day, so to support my health and my pleasure of eating. I’m interested in eating habits only when they’re linked to the culture of peoples. When I go abroad, I’m interested in typical dishes and drinks of that country, and if I can, I taste them. It’s a simple way of sharing in people’s life.

    Food is important in my life. As a vegetarian, my diet is not only a pleasure, but it’s a lifestyle too.
    If I have understood, the Paleolithic diet is based on hunting, fishing and picking fruits and vegetables. Isn’t a nonsense hunting, fishing and picking fruits and vegetables in a supermarket? Aren’t they the same foods that common people eat abitually? I’m non sure that food is “natural”. Unless Paleolithic diet’s fans provide for themselves to get food... However coffee, alcohol and some treatments of food aren’t healthy!
    The term “Paleolithic” reminds the origin of man, a “natural” world, a more strong link to Nature and its inhabitants, both animals and plants. Maybe "Paleolithic" is the key to success of the Paleolithic diet.
