  • 2. 

    Fresh salmon at the meat counter is always Paleo. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Farmed salmon are often fed a diet of corn and soy, are given feed with dyes in it to look similar to their wild-caught counterparts, and actually have a high Omega 6, and low Omega 3 fatty acid ratio. These farmed salmon are often anemic, with higher levels of PCBs and mercury than wild fish. Additionally, there is a higher incidence of disease in farmed fish that are forced to live in confinement.

    Food labeled "Natural" is better than "Organic".

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False

    Natural is the way manufacturers like General Mills and Tyson got away from using the word "Organic." Why? Organic has higher standards, but not nearly high enough for Paleo Approved.

    The "Cage-Free" label means that the animals are allowed outside. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Cage free can mean that the chickens are kept inside but allowed to roam in a limited space. A barn with a million chickens that cant even lay down can still be labeled cage-free. It's crap, isn't it? Don't believe the hype.

    Ducks eat frogs, snakes, and fish. Seriously. Vegetarian-Ducks are Being Fed Corn and Soy. This is not Paleo Approved. Not at all.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Which of the following IS Paleo Approved?

    • Cage-Free Vegetarian Chicken

    • Omega-3 Enriched Vegetarian Chicken

    • Pastured Chicken

    • Organic, Cage Free, Vegetarian Chicken

    Correct Answer
    A. Pastured Chicken
    Explanation
    Organic chickens can be fed "Organic" and "Vegetarian" corn. Not Paleo.
    If it's omega-3 enriched, it means they fed the chickens flaxseed in with their corn meal. Cage free can still mean cooped up with a million other chickens in a barn. That's not Paleo either. Pastured Chickens are Paleo.

  • 11. 

    Beef and Bison designated "American Grass-fed" would always be Paleo Approved.  

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Not a chance. American Grass-fed label also allows for corn and grain-finishing. This COMPLETELY negates the whole purpose of being grass-fed in the first place.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    The "Free-Range" label means that the animal spends 80% of it's lifetime out on grass. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    I wish. “Free range” birds live very similar to their factory farmed counterparts. To be designated “free range,” producers only have to apply for a USDA “free range” label with a description of the birds’ housing stating that they are able to have access to the outdoors for more than 51% of their lives. There is neither a definition of “access” nor independent verification of the statements producers make, and the USDA relies solely on producer testimony. So a chicken that lives in a cramped barn, that has a door that opens up to concrete can still be "Free-Range." Awesome!

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Which of the following is the best indication of an egg laid by a healthy chicken?

    • Brown in Color, or speckled brown

    • Odd in Shape

    • Difficult to crack

    • Light yellow yolk

    Correct Answer
    A. Difficult to crack
    Explanation
    99% of the United States population believes that brown chicken are healthier. This is a marketing ploy! They are nutritionally the same as the other eggs, unless the chicken that laid the egg ate a moderate amount of protein that it found while pecking and scratching in the pasture. Protein, and calcium rich diets provide for a deeper yellow-dark orange tall-standing yolk, with a thick shell.
