From the Whole9 folks via Paleo Drama:
The simple absence of grains or dairy or whathaveyou in stuff you eat doesn’t make it “Paleo.” A Paleo way of life is about choosing to partake in a “nutrient-dense life,” complete with deeply nourishing food, emotionally satisfying social relationships, and genuine interaction with the natural (i.e. outside) world. Embrace the spirit of the lifestyle instead of seeking ways to work around it. Relying on a blend of dried fruit and nuts isn’t “Paleo” - it’s just overeating trail mix.

Great quote! I’m afraid for some ‘Paleo’ is just an excuse to eat alot of bacon.
