"Creator's Best", not "paleo"

The term "paleo" for the way of eating I've adopted has always just bugged me.  Ancestral health gets my goat, too. I'm a literal creationist, meaning that I believe the Genesis account that God created the heavens and the earth and all that entails in 6, 24-hour, days.  This makes the world only a few thousand years old, not billions of years. It also does away with cavemen and the paleolithic period (which wouldn't have had man anyway, if I"m remembering my public school origins-of-the-earth training accurately).  Anyway, the interesting thing about the paleo diet or paleo lifestyle is that it fits perfectly with what life would have been like for Adam and Eve and their offspring and many of their successive generations.  Think about it...created to tend the garden...fruits, veggies, sin comes along and God slays an animal to give them covering, which then allows for the addition of meat to the diet.  The basic paleo diet fits perfectly with what God would have created us originally to eat.  But the whole "paleo" label, to me, ignores God and creation.  So I'm coining the term "Creator's Best" for my wol (way of life).  It just FITS, doesn't it?  I feel so much better now!  :)
