Paleo Diet Myths, A Headless Statue, and Mummified Sheep - Ep 133

On today's show we start with an article that claims to "debunk" the Paleo Diet. However, what it really does is just talk about a lot of really cool food-related things in history. Next we go to Turkey and learn about a headless statue that was recently discovered. Finally, we end in an Iranian salt mine where naturally mummified sheep were found.
