Yes, you are overreacting. While I share your dislike for refined foods, I realize that we are hearty beings. All those things not paleo are harmful if they are a regular part of one's diet. If one typically eats paleo, a soda, ice cream, or mac-n-cheese shouldn't hurt them. I have, since going paleo (7 months), eaten a small serving of ice cream twice. I am no worse for the wear, and didn't even feel badly (physically) at the time. That aside, why care what a guest cooks in your house as long as you and your children aren't eating it? Eating SAD isn't immoral, it is just unwise. Teach by example. -Rob >From: Susan Carmack <[log in to unmask]> > >This is a question regarding paleoettiquette I suppose. >Everyone who knows me knows about my strong feelings regarding REAL food vs >refined food and the fact that all my children are on a celiac diet.
