Food choice defensive

[Owlie]

I get tired of paleo-preachers. I have nothing against the diet, but we really have limited evidence of its historic accuracy (and I say this as a former archaeologist). A lot of paleo followers are worse than religious fanatics in their absolute belief in the diet. My sister is one of them and it drives me up the wall. If I don't berate her for eating beef and bacon 4 times a day, I expect to be left alone about my preferences for beer, pasta and granola. I'm glad she's lost a lot of weight on her diet but what I'm eating isn't exactly making me fat, either. I don't have inflammation issues, I don't have skin problems, I don't have chronic fatigue, or whatever else gluten is supposed to cause in non-celiac people. Just let me eat in peace.

This. If it works for you, great! I'll just keep eating what I'm eating.
which isn't all that much at the moment...

I'm an "everything in moderation, including moderation" person.
