rydra_wongThis was sparked by a conversation elsewhere. I know there are some people who are interested in paleo/primal eating, but who are in recovery from eating disorders and need to avoid stuff that's potentially triggering for them.
As a guideline, how about suggesting that discussions about weight, weight loss, and/or calories should go behind a cut?
That means that people who want to can discuss them, but others can avoid it if they need to.
I know that for some people weight loss is one goal of eating paleo/primal, but for others it isn't, and IMHO it'd be good if the comm could be inclusive in that respect; this is about health first and foremost, not a "diet" in the traditional sense.
(Tangentially, Melissa of HuntGatherLove has an interesting post on whether paleo can be integrated with a Health At Every Size (HAES) approach.)
