Re: Are the current generation of kids/young adults namby pamby
Just had to google 'paleo' 
Eat the way our stone age ancestors ate?? Haven't our bodies evolved somewhat since then? Is this before or after the discovery of fire?
Think I would like to be clear on that before starting this particular diet. Raw bison doesn't particularly appeal to me

Ugh, I know a couple of people who are doing this diet. It's just another fad for the fad hungry in my opinion. In many ways all this sort of stuff has become like a new religion for people who need to believe in something - They grab hold of these crackpot ideas and accept them as gospel without any real discovery or research process.
I guess that because we've effectively killed god, people need something else to believe in...

I don't think our bodies have evolved much, might explain the rise in obesity and allergies as food processing in the last 50 years hits us.
EDIT
I had a quick read and my diet is sort of Paleo (lol) only, ahem, I add cheese and milk. I could easily cut out legumes and cereral from my diet yet still eat vegetables.
If the goal is to reduce processed food then I have done that all my life. If the goal is to reduce acid, well I am willing to learn or understand why.
I think it is a better fad than say Atkins.

I think the employment stats say it all really. Look at places like Mackay which have been crying out for workers, but unemployment in the 18 - 24 age is at 50%.
I see it a fair bit in my industry. A lot of young kids are very happy to sit in front of the computer. But recently when i told one he needed to go out remote with a drill rig for a few nights he nearly started crying.

I had a young mid thirties year old from top 4 tell me he could build a billion dollar business himself.I begged to differ and told him he didnt have the balls.
Certain things you dont get behind a desk as in your point on working on a remote site, or without a secure pay packet (or behind others for support).
