Because this is what the Paleo diet is all about. The premise is simple enough: human genetics have scarcely changed since the agricultural age, which marked the end of the Paleolithic era 15,000 years ago, so the food we consume ought to stay the same: meat, fish, fresh fruit and non-starchy vegetables.

Although it’s been around since the mid-1970s, the diet has seen a resurgence over the past two years in the United States and the United Kingdom. The trend has gained popularity in Dubai with the opening of the Cycle Bistro in Motor City and Daintree Food (www.daintreefood.com), which doubles as a food-delivery company.
