From WordNet v1.6:

fad
   n : an interest followed with exaggerated zeal: "he always
       follows the latest fads"; "it was all the rage that
       season" [syn: {craze}, {furor}, {furore}, {cult}, {rage}]

Considering the zeal in William's reply, and the high level
of traffic of this mailing list, it sure sounds like a fad to me.

I thought the site wasn't very negative towards the "caveman diet",
just kind of silly.  They certainly didn't provide any evidence
of nutritional lack.
