definition of "Cult" from Merriam Webster.

1 : formal religious veneration : worship
2 : a system of religious beliefs and ritual; also : its body of adherents
3 : a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious; also : its body of adherents
4 : a system for the cure of disease based on dogma set forth by its promulgator <health cults>
5 a : great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work (as a film or book); especially : such devotion regarded as a literary or intellectual fad
b : the object of such devotion
c : a usually small group of people characterized by such devotion

i believe Paleo/Primal/Clean eaters fit each of definitions 4, 5a, and 5c to a greater or lesser extent.

    Apparently they did a study and concluded that one of the main side effects of paleo/primal/clean eating lifestyle is that your head grows bigger and you lose the ability to talk about anything else with your friends.

    They're currently doing the same study with Crossfit as well.

    So by your definitions, every religious organization is a cult, football fans are a cult, people that watch celebrity gossip are a colt.

    aka, you're dumb.

    insults are against the community guidelines. you can get a strike for that.

    oh no. what ever will I do.

    Im with you on this one. The OP is an idiot

    Keto 4 life. Keep eating your sugar and carbs buddy, Paleo/Keto are the true way humans are supposed to eat. Keep shoving those cupcakes down your throat and I'm sure the weight will just come flying off. *eyeroll*

    hmmm... not a cult, but any threats to your dogma are responded to with insults. got it.

    I'm pretty sure that posting a topic where you call a group of people a cult will probably run afoul of the community guidelines too.

    "these definitions" are the ACTUAL definitions.

    And no. When did you last hear a football fan say football would cure their diseases. In fact, when was football fandom ever a really small group of people.

    can you point to exactly what i've written on this thread that implies i care one way or the other about what you eat?

    i personally find the Paleo/Primal/Clean eaters advice on this site to be often silly, and mostly derived from food phobias. it occurred to me that advice was not rational, so i looked up the definition of "cult" and sure enough, that definition has helped me to understand these people and why they give the advice they give.

    How is this not an insult? The connotation of the word 'cult' is far from a good one and it seems that this entire post is designed to get a rise from people. In which case, maybe the OP is just trolling.

    Actually he didn't call a group of people a cult... the topic states "I believe that paleo/primal/clean eatersbelong to a cult" And then he posted the deftinition of a cult... its his belief... You interpreted to the fact that he was calling it a cult... your interpretation is wrong.
