They have a point, I think. At least, in my case they would have
a point, although I have never imposed my dietary whims on my
family. But I did go through a phase that can only be described
as grim fanaticism, bringing my own dietary rejectionism to
rarefied heights.
I recall once reading a remark by Loren Cordain that he permits
himself one "anything goes" meal per week, to relieve stress and
remain in touch. In our culture the effort to maintain
paleo-purity can itself be a high-stress proposition, and I
suspect this can be as dangerous as anything we might otherwise
eat.
