I bet I've written 5000 words now, and they picked up on ONE sentence  
that they could interpret to support everything they believe.   
ARGGHHHHH!

I noticed your domain earlier and checked out your website... the  
difference is staggering!  Do you find that people actually pay  
attention to what you have to say, or do they just nod and dismiss  
you as a curiosity?  That has been my recent experience- I know  
someone who has lost 5-10kg and somehow it's made people MORE  
dismissive of paleo!
