They did not define the paleo diet nor the Mediterranean diet.  According to
Nina Teicholz, the Mediterranean diet identification is a scam because the
Mediterranean countries have a widely diverse diet that is difficult to
define.  For example, back when this term was being formulated the people of
Crete ate a lot of snails - not something consumed much by some of the other
Mediterranean countries.  She found the most common denominator was that
those countries ate real food which was not very processed, even though
ratios of fats, carbohydrates and protein differed quite a bit from country
to country.
