Eventually, yes, it WILL become mainstream.  Unfortunately, I think it will
take longer than ten years.  Why?  Primarily big business but here in the
US, gubment (government) will get in the way, as well.  Uncle Sam's
definition of 'balanced' is the USDA food pyramid and the vast majority of
health and nutrition experts see that as gospel truth.  They're too proud
and/or financially biased to say anything else.  And the US government can't
afford to switch its dietary recommendations from a grain-based diet.  Food
subsidies consisting primarily of meat and healthy vegetables?  It'll be a
long, LONG time before Uncle Sam will go THAT route!
