Seriously, I know where you're coming from. I am not a fanatic, however. How could I be? I suppose I feel a little misunderstood here. I fall off the wagon, I eat non-Paleo foods, I know I'll never be living in the woods eating nuts, twigs, lizards, and leaves. My bottom line, however, is that I like to worship the Great Paleo God.
So, there are shades of gray in Paleo, sure, but I cannot call something that's obviously NOT Paleo, Paleo. I can live with that inconsistency, and practice it in approximation.
Does anyone understand where I'm coming from?

I do, or so I think.
Pure Paleo (for lack of a better term) is likely the single healthiest way to eat. When one finds this out, feels it to be true, then it certainly can be human nature to wish others to realize it.
And, it can be aggravating to have something "misnamed". A pet peeve of mine is when someone says that a "white" lie isn't really lying, especially if it's done for a good reason. Well, yes, it is still lying, whether well-intended, or not.
Am I even remotely close, Proteus?
Having said all that, I hope both the purists (of which I'm not, though I think about it alot), and those just looking for added knowledge, can co-exist.
