They also sell whole wheat low-carb tortillas.

I think the Eades believe that carb restriction is the single
most important dietary "reform" that one should undertake.  I'm
guessing, but perhaps they regard carb reduction as responsible
for 90% of the benefits of paleo.  They do make a clear
distinction between the purist, dilettante, and hedonist levels
of compliance, and they do not insist that only the purist
approach is worthwhile.  I don't think it's wrong for them not to
target their products only to purists.
