You said the entire premise of this book is based on a straw man argument.
This means 'this book is trying to discredit claims about paleo diets that nobody actually makes'.
My point is that you are wrong that nobody makes those claims, here are some examples of people using exactly that description. Feel free to argue that it misrepresents the makeup of and the reasoning behind paleo diet, but don't argue they didn't say it. And if you've literally never heard someone arguing that they eat just meat and vegetables because our bodies evolved for it in the Stone Age and haven't had time to learn anything else, I envy you.
Here is a fun article about some people who self describe as being 'paleo', for an example of how this 'just marketing copy' is the same as the actual justification for paleo used by many people: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/10/fashion/10caveman.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/10/fashion/10caveman.html?pag...
