The Paleo Diet

So I understand that the latest diet craze is the Paleo Diet, where you only eat foods that would have been available to our ancestors. No refined sugars, breads, etc.
The concept doesn't sound that strange to me. What DOES sound strange, is some of the things people are calling "paleo".

Paleo Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus!

Paleo Waffles with Caramel Drizzle!

Paleo Lasagna!





THAT'S NOT A REAL THING.

I'm no archaeologist, but I'm pretty sure that cavemen weren't sitting around the dinner table munching on bacon-wrapped T-bone steaks with biscuits crafted out of almond meal and coconut oil. 

Go ahead and replace your whole wheat toast with bacon because it's "more natural". 
Can't wait to write your lipitor prescription, dummy!

The next person who posts a recipe for paleo enchiladas on Facebook is going to get punched in the neck. For realisies.

The paleo diet is dumb.
The end.
