Not so much disdain, but in the 70s it was the sherry diet, in the 90s
Atkinson and now Paleo. When, in fact, it's probably all about
moderation and variation.

But Paleo also excludes "dairy products, grains, sugar, legumes,
processed oils, salt, and alcohol or coffee" says Wikipedia. And
that's where I think the kook factor comes in.

I can believe that, because you excluded the processed stuff, the
science projects of the food industry.

I think most diets are largely temporary hypes until the next one
comes along- not talking about people with medical conditions or food
sensitivities, of course. But I think avoiding processed foods is
always a good idea.
