I tried some wild growing fiddleheads in the local woods and they tasted much better than those sold in the market--softer, juicier and less bitter. The wild berries are still not ripe yet.
I noticed in some photos that I tacked up on my fridge that the eyes of my two Paleo nephews are quite Asian (narrow) in appearance now. I hypothesized that they likely have Native American ancestry on both sides of their family and mentioned this to their mother, who told me that she had indeed noticed some Native American features in them and researched the genealogy and found evidence of Native Americans on both sides of the family.
As they mature they are looking more and more like proto-Celtic/Turkic Western Asians of the Caucasian/Turkish steppes/mountains region, with both European and Asian features, though still weighted toward the European. Amazingly, within a single year the nephew that had been more badly affected by modern foods (his mother ate wheat germ while pregnant with him, on the advice of a pregnancy book, but didn't with the second son) has had his eyes go from round and bulging to narrow, without bulging, and Asian-like within a single year, and his eyes are now almost as narrow as his younger brother's. Both boys have experienced visible broadening of their jaws. In unfortunate contrast, my other two nephews that eat lots of junk food have had increasing narrowing of their jaws and skulls, especially the youngest, who is also showing increasingly prominent "buck" teeth, whereas the teeth of my Paleo nephews have been straightening and normalizing somewhat after starting out looking quite bad. It's sad to see my modern-foods nephews suffering physically and healthwise, but any time I or my father try to explain it to their mother she reacts with hostility. She was a junk-food-junkie in her youth too and thinks that we Paleo dieters are the misguided ones rather than her. She tries to find any positive thing she can in her family's health and any negative thing she can in Paleo dieters to justify her views. The slightest imperfection in a Paleo dieter is proof positive that it doesn't work, whereas horrendous health problems among modern food eaters like her own husband are irrelevant. It's amazing what cognitive dissonance can do.
So Weston Price's predictions are so far coming true, though he wasn't right about everything, of course, as Tyler has pointed out ad nauseum. My Paleo nephews don't consume dairy products, so their positive health experience seems to counter Price's view on the importance of dairy (as do the experiences of Tyler, myself and others here who don't consume significant dairy), though even Price acknowledged that some traditional peoples, like the Inuit, fared well without dairy and Price didn't seem to be as dogmatic about dairy as the WAPF is.
