It's not harsh though, it's truth. The worst thing about "paleo" (in quotes for a reason) is the cultish attitude about it that makes it go so well in the @fit community to begin with. It's just not that complicated to eat right. And perhaps a better way to say it is along the lines of something simple: Don't eat processed foods or things with an ingredient list you need to look up on the interwebz (or have an 'effin' chemistry PhD to understand).

But the douchebaggery about what a caveman ate? What a bunch of shite. You can't prove what they ate for any certainty. But I know that I'm probably better off eating a slab of cow than a powdered MRP with a ingredient list longer than my arm.

Yes, because we all know cavemen only ate the best... these Paleo disciples worship the caveman way of life so damn much, how do they know these cavemen didn't take woolly mammoth shit, saute' it over some pig fat and make shit-bacon?

And why is it that 99% of the Paleo disciples look like the newest Hollister catalog? That includes all the experts as well.

I had to google that crap and I still don't know whether he's talking about "So Cal Fashions" or "Ostomy and Bowel Care" products. (Google Hollister and you find both.)

I guess both of you don't live in civilization.... Hollister is a pretty popular metrosexual clothing line. You see it on skinny, feminized men the nation over.

I live in civilization, I just choose to remain blissfully ignorant of certain shit. Like what the various kinds of "Axe" body spray are, or where to buy one of those fucking hipster hats. Or how to do a kipping pullup.

When one opened here Mrs. Gorilla and I wandered into it, not knowing what to expect. Aside from the fact that we were way too old to shop there, the assortment of hobo-wear like faded and ripped cargo shorts and "pre-distressed" rugby shirts and threadbare tees prompted her to say "Hollister?

the first few times i saw that shit, i thought for some reason kids from Hollister, California were rocking gear to support their high school or something. around the time i was thinking "damn, why do i keep running into kids from Hollister" it dawned on me how retarded i am. Hollister only has like 30k people or so.

Uncle Dan doesn't know that I worked in NYC clubs as a bouncer for a long time as well, seeing Hollister, Ed Hardy, A&F, and other trendy brands were a fact of club life... Sorry to say that his insinuation is kind of fucking stupid especially being that Uncle Dan can walk down most streets in most towns and happen to accidentally see one or two or 500 high school kids wearing that brand.

Several years in, @F still proves that nOObs can come in and dominate the old-time exercisers...
http://games.crossfit.com/features/game ... jaime-gold
Jaime Gold started seriously CrossFitting in February of this year and already has shown her potential to be a serious badass in the sport after earning a 3rd place finish at the 2011 Central East Regional for a spot at the Games.
http://games.crossfit.com/features/aust ... anda-allen
Amanda Allen was an unlikely athlete to qualify for the 2011 Reebok CrossFit Games to represent the Australia Region. Even with her athletic background, she was 24th place in the Open, she has been CrossFitting for less than a year, and the 40-year-old was competing against women half her age. But Allen proved with hard work and natural ability that age is only a number.
What kind of event can be taken seriously when someone can do it for 3-4 months and then compete with veterans? Oh wait, one with a high turnover rate and lots of broken bodies left in the wake...

They've only been doing the @fit program for a few months and haven't had time to become weakened and overtrained/detrained/injured/generally sloppy, etc. They have probably been exercising for years. And it is a contest for exercisers. (I refuse to call them athletes). It would be interesting to see how they were training prior to starting @fit that would enable them to place so highly in an exercise contest.
