    Having never fallen for fad diets or the opinions of hot guys, the closest I can relate this to is a solid week of grey skies. Sad. I never want to feel that way about food.

    That author, delightful!

    You have to grow a unibang and dress in all black for it to really flavor your food though. XD

    Thanks for the laugh! My sore abs are keeping me from laughing too hard, but I can laugh on the inside! ;)

    Very funny and entertaining! You just clarified more reasons why I'm pretty sure I could not stick to a Paleo diet.

    This was hilarious! I had to contain my giggles in my office as I read this piece. I did Paleo for a month as a work challenge and it was painful, even with the copious amounts of bacon.

    I'm at work, sitting at my desk and laughing out loud. You have a gift for writing! I've often wondered about the whole Paleo craze, and your post just convinced me that it would never work for this food-loving, cajun girl! Thanks for a great post!

    i can totally relate to this! lol, I call myself semi-paleo cuz I didn't give up oatmeal or beans. so that makes me a pseudo too! and I have a fridge full of expensive almond meal that I haven't gotten around to making into sad little patties. tho I feel like giving up the gluten and dairy hasn't been a bad thing. in its place I've been drinking coconut milk and for the first time ever, I failed the cholesterol test at work! lol

    This cajun girl could as long as there were massive amounts of boiled crawfish and boiled crabs.

    I legitimately laughed out loud. Not something I actually do in real life. Hilarious and well written, sums up any elimination diet. :)

    I laughed very hard, thank you for this post. I enjoyed the part about them looking like cat vomit and throwing them away. I love pasta, and ice cream so not having any of that well that would be horrible.

    One of my friends posted this to her wall this morning. I almost didn't follow it because of paleo in the title. It's an entertaining read for sure! She has a descriptive writing style.
