Well, most people I've talked to are too set in their ways to change their diet at all - some even willing to die rather than try a raw-meat diet, even when their own health-problems are obviously going to be fatal very soon. But once people start experimenting with diets, they tend to be more and more responsive to the notion of a raw, palaeolithic diet. As a result of my mentioning my diet in passing(not preaching) I've had acquaintances turning mainly to sushi for takeaways, aiming for 100% grassfed meats at farmers markets(albeit cooked), so that, at least, is a start.The kind of people we mainly get as new members tend to be those whose conditions were severe enough to disrupt their life so that they had to wander through most dietary combinations before coming upon raw, palaeolithic diets as a last resort.It is true that some other diets have been helpful for some people(eg:- cooked, palaeolithic diets a la Cordain have shown some mild improvements re certain auto-immune diseases, as, I'm sure, have similiar diets involving non-palaeo foods. But most such non-RPD diets can only help people in limited ways - I, on the other hand, have seen endless reports re curing of cancer or getting rid of the symptoms of Grave's disease(a genetic, inherited illness) etc. as regards raw-meat diets, which is a major incentive.
