Very good point, but a lot of the whole grains I eat are things like organic lake wild rice, which is actually a wetlands grass plant that has probably been eaten since before modern agriculture was invented. Do you do a paleolithic diet? I heard about that, but to be honest, eating raw red meats sounds pretty scary, unless you're going to be eating grass-fed animals that are not grown in a "factory farm" like most meat is now.
edit: I read your links and found them very interesting. I think one of the problems that agricultural societies in general have is that they started milling their whole grains into flour. The articles mention tooth decay as a problem of modern agricultural societies. Flour is a huge problem because it is easily processed and turns into sugars quickly, growing bacteria that causes tooth decay.
As long as you stick to whole grains, and not "crushed" or milled grains, you should be ok. Brown rice instead of white rice, buckwheat, quinoa, wild rice, amaranth, and a host of others. The important part is not to break or remove the outer shell or husk of the grain. The husk has most of the vitamins and fiber in it anyway.
Actually, the author of the blog I linked mentions a few times that all non-industrial cultures were fermenting their grains before eating them, which is supposed to get rid of antinutrients such as lectins or phytic acid. But I did not go deep into the details of that.
And no, paleo does not mean eating raw red meet - cooked is fine according to most sources I came across. Some indeed do eat raw, but I think it's the 'hardcore' minority.
