Do you think we should eat like cavemen?

From TheSunTimes.com:

There’s a buzz in some scientific circles that say we should eat like a caveman.  This of course means – when it is all said and done – we should eat how man in earlier times ate.  
What did early mankind eat?
Scientific research shows that Cavemen, or hunters and gatherers ate a lot healthier than most Americans today
What Did They Eat?
These people ate primarily vegetables, fruit, nuts, roots and later, meat was added to their diet.
Today, these healthy staples have been almost entirely replaced with refined sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and cereal, breads, including all types of refined grains, potatoes and pasteurized milk products… which do nothing for our health at all.  In fact just look at all the health issues we have today.
Dr. Loren Cordain, author of The Paleo Diet and considered to be one of the world’s leading experts on Paleolithic nutrition, took a look at what they ate, and decided that they had very good nutrition.  Today we have a tremendous lack in good nutrition, even though we have an abundance of food in, fast food, TV dinners, take out, and processed foods.
Although abundant, that type of food is not creating good health for us.
