You know what I'm saying, right? I propose we paleos are inhabiting somewhat of an echo chamber, though I appreciate the devil's advocacy proffered recently (veg vs. paleo thread). Along with echo chambers come silly new vocabulary words like "neolethal," "diet dictocrat" (Fallon), "Democrat Party," "Obamaniacs..." etc. Also, here's my suggestion for a new one: "fucktose." |

At least Neolethal is clever. "Diet dictocrat" is silly. In Sally Fallon's review of The Paleo Diet by Loren Cordain, she says that his dairy-free version of the paleo diet "has no good sources of calcium". Yep, for all their rants against the establishment, they can't seem to wrap around their heads the idea that humans can actually live without dairy. She also took issue with the idea that grain isn't Paleolithic. Also salt is apparently "vital" for digestion. http://www.westonaprice.org/book-reviews/thumbs-down/434-paleo-diet.html |

Suckrose, the disaccharide that fucktose tries to smuggle itself into my body with, but fails Also keeping with the theme of sugars, I don't much care for that Whacktose. |

You know how paleos have small amounts of PUFAs? Nonpaleo obese women have large FUPAs. If you don't know what this is, urban dictionary that shit right now. |

Huge Bias Warning: I created the NeoLethal tag on PaleoHacks on June 8th in my question http://paleohacks.com/questions/5835/cringeworthy-foods-adapting-to-new-drives and I might be the originator of this use of this pre-existing word. So, I'll at least assume that I knew what I was attempting to do when I was making something new-ish. -=- I came up with the word neolethal, and tried to define it as 'foods that are neolithic and harmful'. Yes, it is a play on words {and I do love such play}, but *I was trying to brainstorm up a word that succinctly said how I was against the idea that "If it is Neolithic, it MUST be bad for you."* Big tip of the hat to Kurt G. Harris MD of http://www.paleonu.com/ for bringing this idea solidly home to me. After I had tried my best to make a neologism, I did a google search to see if it was used anywhere else, and the closest I could come up with was from doi: 10.1101/gad.9.22.2736 Genes & Development 1995. where it was used as a contraction of Neonatal Lethality. That was really not the same idea as I was trying to express, but I went forward with it anyway. -=- Stops the rambling train of thought -=- This answer may have been way too long, SO I'll just focus and finish by saying that if a new word helps communicate a thought better and accurately, then it is not that silly. I was making up a new word in the attempt to make my communication better, and make it easier to spread the Paleo/Primal/PāNu meme around. -=- Please tell me if you get any use or Paleo-converts out of it. |
