Re: why would I chose paleo over vegan?
I don't know why you would choose paleo over vegan, but I know why I would. (I am not even vegetarian, btw, but rather "meat-lite.") If I were going to change my current eating pattern, it would be towards more vegetarian, not more meat, because that's my personal taste preference. I love fruits, vegetables and grains better than meat.
I also think that the human body was designed to eat far less meat than the average person eats.
Strict eating rules/fad diets/diets that promise to heal everything that ails you really bother me. I think a good starting place, like one of the pp mentioned, is to clean up your diet by making changes that just about everyone can agree upon--less sugar, fewer processed foods, lower sodium, more vegetables, and probably smaller portion sizes.
