> What kind of a ridiculous thing will they come up with next...

If you're poor enough, it might not seem so ridiculous. This is from the
Junkscience website   http://www.junkscience.com

"'Frankenfood' Frenzy" - From Reason, "In the developing world, a
million kids die and millions more go blind every year because they
don't get enough vitamin A. Over 50 percent of pregnant women in poor
countries are iron deficient, a condition responsible for nearly 20
percent of all maternal deaths. The staple food in many parts of the
developing world is rice -- a grain that doesn't provide enough of these
essential nutrients. Until now."

I doubt that paleo is an option for those folks.
