Going back to a Paleolithic diet is fine but we need to go back to their lifestyles as well! In those days, people had to gather their own food! It is also likely that people develop more disease nowadays simply because of genetic factors. I am grateful that science and research have developed and we now know that certain nutrients are beneficial to support certain health conditions. I agree that we’ve definitely developed poor dietary habits over the years—processed foods and sedentary lifestyles have played havoc with our health. It’s a good idea to go back to eating real food. And since lifestyles are so hectic I often take a real food supplement just to make sure I’m getting all the nutrition I need. Ruby Reds contains over 50 natural ingredients— red superfoods, vegetables, fiber, enzymes, probiotics and protein. I don’t need to take any other supplement and since it is real food – I know I’m getting real food nutrition!

You’re right. I judged prematurely and unfairly. Time will tell. I guess I’m just fed up with the greed.

But I seriously doubt my comment will deter Joe from starting his business. Hopefully it will stick, and Joe will think of me when he begins pricing and marketing his product.

Here’s an example of what I see happening in the direct-to-consumer market: if I’m reading the charge correctly, the wholesale price for 100 pounds of fluid grade milk as of August 2009 is $11.80. Alternatively, I can drive 45 minutes to New York and buy raw milk for over $6 per gallon. Hmmmm.

And then there’s the organic farmer in Oregon who wanted $8 per pound for his French filet string beans, or the cattle farmer who charged more to buy directly from her than from the retail butcher to whom she wholesaled her cattle. And then there’s the organic bell peppers that sell for $35 per 25-pound box as compared to the conventional that sell for $8 per box.

Joe that sounds awesome! I checked the Paleo Brands website and I am attending the Paleo Brands Seminar in San Diego in Sept. I have always been a fan of Loren Cordain and have met Robb Wolf and John Welbourn. i think this is a fantastic endeavor and I am excited for it. As a Paleo eater I have been waiting for someone to take the fight and create high end meals coupled with education; makes complete sense. As for Joanne, have some faith in people. If Joe wants to do something good wait till he gets going and judge him after he has made some traction. It is negative views like yours that cause people like Joe, people that can make a change, to avoid making a difference. I believe that Joe has a social responsibility to help those that he can and he should be supported not doubted. Good luck!

That’s a great sentiment, Joe, but no doubt as you begin marketing directly to consumers, you’ll be charging the prevailing retail price plus a markup for “quality,” That’s what’s happening now in the so-called organic and back-to-the-farm movements. It seems everybody is greedy for cash.

My company owns and operates fishing vessels and seafood processing factories along the West Coast of the US. Kat Eden’s comment is partially correct. Sadly there is a disconnect between quality, natural, organic food producers like me, and consumers. The problem lies in the excess margins of middlemen, distributors, and retailers, and their cuts need to grow at 10% per year. So every year they sacrifice more quality, and raise prices, hence the disconnect. A quick example this let’s say an American caught sole that an American fishermen would receive 35 cents per pound, would retail for $12+, too much for the average consumer. That would be for a high quality (if handled correctly, another problem), locally produced product. Retailers instead are offering more and more imported, very low quality, high margin seafoods, and this trend will continue. Its so bad, that 99% of my seafood (80 million pounds per year) is exported OUT of the USA to countries where they appreciate quality food. America’s waistline line is directly linked to American food company’s bottomline. I have started a new company: PALEO BRANDS INC, my goal is to reconnect food consumers to food producers. Stay tuned, we are still in the product development stage but will be launching soon.
