I've never claimed that it will save the world. However, I suspect that it
can be considerably less expensive than you think, both in personal terms
and in terms of resource usage. For instance:

A fad diet that we lived on healthily for over two million years. That's one
enduring fad!

Not if that mix includes plenty of carbohydrates, especially but not only
simple ones such as HFCS. I agree that avoiding overconsumption is crucial.
Modest underconsumption is even better (and keeps the costs of even a
top-class paleo diet down -- no need to eat huge grass-fed steaks or pounds
of salmon).
