<p>The May 2012 Oprah magazine, p. 146 recommends that people 'consider it'. It being Paleo. Here is the text: </p> <p>The Paleo Diet Based on the notion that we're genetically adapted to the foods our hunter-gatherer ancestors ate, the paleo diet emphasizes meats, fish, fruits, and vegetables while eschewing refined sugars, dairy, and grains. When practiced well, the diet minimizes processed foods, and that's healthy, says David Katz, MD, director of the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center. Just don't go overboard with the meat. Bacon burgers are a far cry from mammoth steaks.<br> Their verdict: Consider it.</p> <p>Sweet! </p> <p>So my question is, has Paleo now crossed that line into popular culture and eventual acceptance by the mainstream? </p> <p>PS - The top of this page features vibram 5 fingers. Just saying. :-)</p>

<p>As with everything in our culture, new ideas take time to get rooted into society. But, I think that through the books (The Paleo Soltuion, Perfect Health Diet, Good Cals-Bad Calories) information on a paleo lifestyle has become more widespread. When a lifestyle/diet that sees a high success rate and unbelievable increase in health and well-being it is only a matter of time before it catches on in popularity. SO to answer your question, yes, I do think paleo is becoming mainstream and will be accepted by many because the next generation is full of open-minded conscious beings who realize this health crisis needs to end.</p>

<p>When the cost of meat sky rockets, then you know it has become mainstream. Then again, a local food chain here wanted $19.99 per lbs for grass fed steak yesterday. Makes me think . . . </p>

<p>The true signal of mainstream acceptance and success is large food companies wanting to cash in on this "hot trend". When you start to see Kraft PaleoSnax and Oscar Meyer Primal Pebbles, that's when you know we've arrived ...</p>

<p>About 6 months ago my daughter in law sent me a few torn out pages from a magazine she saw in a doctors office (sorry dont know what it was) that referenced Paleo, she was surprized to read about it since she thought I was on some crazy diet until then. </p> <p>Its out there, its getting peoples attention, its just that the last 20 years has been one fad diet after another and people are always looking for quick fixes or think it has to be done using convention wisdom (MD's) or someone who has power to command peoples attention (ahem, Oprah-just sayin!).</p> <p>I'm just happy to be doing whats good for me for once!</p>
