In my opinion, the ideal diet is as illusive as alchemy. The basics can be understood, sure, but the complete picture, not a chance.
In pre-agricultural societies diets vary massively and definite extremes exist; Inuit people traditionally maintain diets composed nearly exclusively of raw meat, while South American indigenous people traditionally consume diets with much more plant life. The human body is very adaptable, and therefore there is no definite right and no definite wrong. Both Northern Canadian and South American indigenous people were traditionally very healthy people. despite the radically different diets. I'm healthy and my diet is inversely opposed to Skinnypup's, who is also healthy. If someone can develop a formula to pin point the ideal diet based on a persons unique body chemistry and activity levels, they'd win a noble prize. Until then, arguing the finer points is all well and good, but there's no definite right or wrong.
Just my opinion.
To keep the thread on topic - Crossfit sucks.
