did you even read the information posted? 😂 if you had, you would've noticed that I also noted the growth with various diets, including raw, vegan, and others. The assumption that paleo was the most popular at the moment was based on the data by grubhub, based on the growth in sales in that diet segment. What specifically about their data "is BS"? They investigated the diet habits of their customers and they revealed what they found.
and grubhub aren't the only ones to suggest that Americans are eating more meat - https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2017/07/03/americans-eat-more-beef-and-meat-trend-thats-expected-continue/435331001/

regarding your link there, the rate of people searching for the term vegan or paleo doesn't demonstrate anything other than just that, it doesn't indicate how many are subscribing to that diet.
Did this article say that you should go paleo? or that paleo was best? no, it didn't. just simply sharing information 👍
