Our local crossfit is promoting tofu as a primal/paleo food - thoughts? page

[WhiteLionBakingCo]

My partner and I recently checked out the Crossfit gym in South Boston and we noticed that on their website they were recommending tofu and quinoa as paleo/primal foods! I've read Robb Wolf, Mark Sisson and other primal/paleo experts and nowhere have I seen a grain or soy product promoted as fitting into the primal lifestyle. Has anyone here heard otherwise? Who are they reading? (or maybe they're not!)

Yet they are definitely anti-soy. It makes no sense.

Uhh... I would never, and I mean NEVER, recommend soy-anything to anybody. Especially not males (estrogen whatnots...).

Thoughts: Ew.

Can you say, "Self purported experts make spurious claim!"

I wouldn't promote soy to anyone, and quinoa I think was covered on a blog post by Sisson, stating basically no need to eat it, but if you must, moderate.

Belated April Fools?

Vegan Take-Over?

Definitely gross.

Soy should be fermented for safer consumption. And, even then, definitely in moderation. Crossfit has its own problems.

Tofu's not food. I don't know what it is, but it's not food.

[JenCat]

Yuck.

Although crossfit often goes hand in hand with paleo, is there actually a relationship between the two? I've never been in one, so I don't know...
