‘Paleos’ want to live like cavemen<\/p>\n

<\/b>I’ve seen a lot of screwy trends come and go…but this one takes the steak. <\/p>\n

A small band of New York "cavemen" have been enjoying the ultimate in low-carb diets, swearing off all processed foods and eating only fresh grass-fed meats and vegetables. <\/p>\n

They’ve even given up bread, which can’t be easy in the city of bagels. <\/p>\n

So far so good. Leave it at that, kids, and I might be on your side. But nope…this is just Step One in a daffy attempt to emulate the habits of early man — without giving up the creature comforts of modern life, of course. <\/p>\n

So, for example, they’ve taken to fasting…for no good reason whatsoever. A recent profile in the New York Times finds them boasting of how long they can go between feeding frenzies. <\/p>\n

Apparently it has something to do with how early humans didn’t eat for days at a time when they couldn’t find food. But I’m sure the "real" cavemen would have happily enjoyed a thick, fatty steak every day if they could have gotten their hairy hands on one. You should too if you want to stay healthy. <\/p>\n

But that’s not even the worst of it. Nope, the fasting must be starving their brains as well as their bellies, because these Neolithic nutjobs have also extended their prehistoric mentality to exercise. <\/p>\n

Since they’re not about to hunt a wooly mammoth or flee a sabertooth tiger, they’ve created a series of exercises to simulate what their imaginary ancestors did to stay fit. <\/p>\n

They run barefoot in winter…play catch with stones…and crawl around under bushes. This is considered wacky behavior even in New York. <\/p>\n

What’s next — clubbing women in a mating ritual? <\/p>\n

I didn’t think it was possible to ruin the perfect diet… but these modern-day cavemen have managed to pull it off. <\/p>\n

And that’s not the only nutty news from New York. Keep reading for the latest nanny-state nonsense!<\/p>\n
