The other thing that irritates me is "oh, it's full of

The only thing worse than the paleo fad are raw food people. Get back to me when your body can break down cellulose to get to that nutrition, you don't have the right teeth or enough time to break down the cell walls...
The poison's in the dose. Oxygen is toxic, we need an oxygen free way of life.
