#3This is actually a big deal. CrossFit, whether you like it or not (I’m not a fan) is at this point a major consumer brand. Not too long ago it would have been unthinkable for a brand this significant to make this kind of move.

It's a valid diet.

If you've ever been an athlete, and have spent 30 seconds watching crossfit - it becomes obvious the goal is to see how dumb of an "exercise" you can do before getting hurt.
There are two type of crossfitters - those who have gotten a permanent and serious injury, and those who are going to get one.

I don’t know much about the diet, but when it went crazy at my office a few years ago, half of the crossfitters ended up with significant injuries.
The fitness program is dangerous and dumb.

Definitely not a cult.
