Molly, The paleodiet list is suppose to only discuss the diet. The danger is including social factors would do a few things 1) create lots of 'spirited' discussions on religion, politics and lifestyle that would prolly destroy the list and 2) take away from the focus of this list, diet. I think there a few other lists where you can discuss these other interests. I've been guilty of gettin off topic on occasion, as have others. Don has been pretty tolerant of my transgressions and alot slides by without rebuke if you move quickly on. I think this list is pretty selective in the sense you need to make some 'strong' ties to diet with a post and you shouldnt encourage discussion outside that topic.
