One issue I have specifically is the desire to remove grains and legumes almost entirely from the diet. It overlooks the role that these foodstuffs played in our survival: food security, replacement of animal protein during shortages, the establishment of stable and secure societies.

It seems to me that there are those who support this diet who view grains and legumes as an inherently bad food choice. This despite the evidence that they play important roles in nutrition and have many health benefits.
