One of the most popular New Year's resolutions is to lose weight. 
Hence diets become a popular topic in the media at this time. It was 
two year's ago that the NY Times had their paleo article. This year 
their article is:

The Fat Trap
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/01/magazine/tara-parker-pope-fat-trap.html

 From the first page: "Nutritionists counseled them in person and by 
phone, promoting regular exercise and urging them to eat more 
vegetables and less fat. But despite the effort, they slowly began to 
put on weight. After a year, the patients already had regained an 
average of 11 of the pounds they struggled so hard to lose. They also 
reported feeling far more hungry and preoccupied with food than 
before they lost the weight."

The article is very long. I did not bother to read past the first 
page. Clearly they don't get it. It is really unfortunate that 
hundreds of millions of people are being misled as to what to eat.
