Paleo Propaganda: Telling you good things about your bad habits

These people's marketing strategy is good.  It is based on affirmation.  They tell you good things about your bad habits.  Eat lots of meat to experience good health?  I'm not anti-meat or slaughter (although the meat and dairy industries are abominable.)  But most people could probably agree that permission to eat tons of red meat does not even sound healthy.  You do not have to have a meat heavy paleo diet but the allowance is much of the appeal.

They are making a fortune.  The diet calls for you to buy tons of supplements that you can find on the gurus' websites.  Does that even sound right?

Up your fruits and veggies and whole grains.  Because it's not a heart attack waiting to happen.  Or a messed up colon.
