I know what you are saying, but really, if you eat, you have a diet, right? I guess it rubs me the wrong way that the word 'diet' has become so distorted in today's vernacular.

By the definition that you are using, 'diet' is a temporary thing, right? If so, then I don't diet either.

While I consider myself paleo, it is a permanent choice and not a temporary one to lose weight or whatever. I avoid certain foods for my health and happiness the same way you avoid HFCS or probably trans fat.
