Dear Nell, I was reading through your blog and saw some things that surprised me; you mention goat milk yogurt, rice cereal and greens powder. I thought those things were not part of the Paleo diet. Are they? I’m confused. Thanks, Mitch, Portland Oh, I am so glad to have this question as a blog […]
