I'm trying to start up the Whole30 thing. I read it based on your suggestion and enjoyed the book, and even tried out some of the replacements (though I prefer peanut butter to sunflower seed butter--I DEFINITELY taste the difference, unlike they suggested). I'm making a more concerted effort to eat the stuff they label as healthy, though it's hard, especially when visiting parents, to avoid the bad stuff (which is the real kicker). But yeah as a whole (no pun intended), they seem to say, "Look this is what science has said so far, and if you'd like to feel better, consider dropping [x], but if you can't live without [x], at least you'll know what it could be doing to your body."
But yeah, I've seen a lot of the "hurr durr paleo how dumb" posts and I'm like... okay, but do you have critiques of the actual system? There are some out there, and that's great because if there were none I'd be a little concerned, but harping on the name is just stupid.
