This question arose from Shari Bambino's funny comment, but, really, it might be fun to come up with some hypothetical criteria! – Lyndsay Jul 14 at 2:11

I'd start with "Wheat is something you eat, yes or no?" – Lyndsay Jul 14 at 2:21

I'd fail. Haha. – Matt Jul 14 at 2:21

Rather than offer questions about how in line with the paleo diet the person is, I would suggest (for this hypothetical exam) questions from the FAQ. It isn't important that a person posting on here follow the paleo diet, just that they are thoughtful, sincere, helpful, and on topic. Paleo is a starting point for thinking about diet and lifestyle questions. There are loads of tweaks that people implement for what's right for them. And the benefit of the forum is that the people here are well-informed and think critically for themselves, and they share their experiences (either personal or from their clients) and the information they've found in their search for health and wellness. S'wonderful.

You could always ask people 1) Why they are joining the site, 2) What their current diet is like, and 3) What they understand about a Paleo diet

	I'm here because I don't understand Paleo. I have a rough idea, I'm a newb and I'm getting results from it so I'm just trying to educate myself here. – polynesian_metal Jul 14 at 4:36
	@polynesian_metal: then that would be your answer for 1. 2 and 3 are pretty easy. – Chinaeskimo Jul 14 at 5:29

Just need all hands on deck to flag things like spam, and IP bans, the worst trolls are usually repeat offenders.

Are you aware that you may be overweight? Feel bloated? Have insatiable cravings for certain types of food? Low energy, lethargy? Do you frequently have a food coma? Constipated?

Questions most likely related to the effects of a SAD diet. If you answered yes to one or some then maybe you should hang out a bit.

seriously in all humour.
