Summary: Our forty-seventh show! Ep. 48: Paleo Philosophy In this episode, Stacy and Sarah launch there three part series discussing paleo philosophy. In part one, Sarah and Stacy set the stage for the discussion that is to follow by addressing the most prevalent controversies in the paleo community, examples of leaders within the community allowing sound research to continually shape their philosophies (as opposed to being stunk on one concept), and the "paleo police" issue that has sparked a great discussion on the role of judgement.
