Paleo? That was the same as Atkins, wasn’t it? I quickly googled the difference while we were on the phone and scanned the list of dos and don’ts. Meat was okay, as long as it was grass-fed, but cheese wasn’t. And rice was definitely verboten. Paella, which had seemed like the perfect party dish a few minutes ago, was as far from paleo as I was from the scantily-clad people who’d apparently subsisted on it.
File this under San Francisco problems. Dietary restrictions for healthy living and actual allergies are one thing. You’re lactose intolerant and can’t eat shellfish? Fine but I wouldn’t consider any event I’ve ever had stressful or full of drama.
