Humor is often a good way to get a point across. For instance, here's how Lewis Black gets his points across about milk and water:

Humor also has its own way of being persuasive by rendering ridicule what a lot of people accept as the truth. Try to convince someone that consuming vegetable oil or grains is bad with logic and data is another ball game and not always apropriate.

So, for all Paleo enthusiasts out there, what are the best jokes you know that show without a doubt how absurd it is to be eating like we do in the Western world?

Here's one that was posted in a museum about aboriginal people in Canada:

How do you call a vegetarian indian? A lousy hunter.

Along these lines, I read somewhere: "People who eat Paleo are simply meat-eating hippies". – Patrik Aug 22 2010 at 7:02

  • A guy has celery sticking out of one ear, lettuce out of the other, and a zucchini up his nose. He goes to the doctor and asks him what's wrong. "Well, for one thing, you're not eating right"

  • If animals aren't supposed to be eaten, then why are they made out of meat?

  • "A new study shows that going on the Atkins Diet can turn you into a crabby person with serious mood swings .On the other hand, the study says that always happens when you take doughnuts away from a fat person." -conan obrien

Reminds me of a related one, if animals aren't meant to be eaten, then why did God make them so tasty? – Eva Aug 22 2010 at 3:32

Don't you think it's unnerving that doctors call what they do "Practice"? --George Carlin

    A blonde is terribly overweight, so her doctor puts her on a diet. "I want you to eat regularly for two days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for two weeks. The next time I see you, you'll have lost at least five pounds."     When the blonde returns, she's lost nearly 20 pounds. "Why, that's amazing!" the doctor says. "Did you follow my instructions?"     The blonde nods. "I'll tell you, though, I thought I was going to drop dead that third day."     "From hunger, you mean?" asked the doctor.     "No, from skipping."

I was reading a blog post about a guy mixing lard with mashed carrots and calling them Fat 'rots (lowerthought.wordpress.com/2010/03/31/…). I had a good laugh with the name. – Paleo Seb Aug 22 2010 at 2:11
Still failing to find online source of clean lard... McDonald Farm does not ship to USA. Le sigh. – 42 Aug 22 2010 at 14:39
