>You can't seriously tell me that this isn't a religion?
It's not a religion. There is no supreme being involved, no great questions
regarding man's or the earth's genesis and no code of conduct. Etc., etc.
It (the paleo diet) is simply a theory or hypothesis about what foods early
hominids (and early man) ate and which is advanced as the regime modern man
should follow for maximum health.

No, religion is when people believe in something not real based on illogical
conclusions... :-)
But, you are really simplifying what real religion is by saying that people
who strongly agree with a theory about eating are religious.
Perhaps they are devout paleoists who study paleoism? :-)
