I’m receiving lots of emails from folks on the Food “Safety” Bill that’s been making a splash on the ‘net. In short, I have not spent a ton of time doing a deep dive on it because I thought it was a lot of hot air, though it clearly is yet another hushed attempt at [...]

My new interview-dialogue with Mark Sisson has been published on LewRockwell.com today. It’s an unusual interview with an unusual guy, discussing conventional wisdom, lazy modernism, food myths, and exercise fiction.

The mainstream media (!) is persisting in its campaign against lowfat while advocating for real food and good fat. Believe it! From an interview with Michael Pollan in the Guardian:
Michael Pollan, tall, fit, not quite skinny but very definitely lean, is holding a fruit yoghurt in one hand and a bottle of Coca-Cola in the [...]

The latest voluntary victim of a nutcase food philosophy is actress Gwyneth Paltrow. Apparently, the 37-year-old Paltrow is one sick kid, with a serious nutritional deficiency and the brittle bones of an old woman. It turns out she had a bad bone fracture that led to surgery, which led to the discovery of the disease [...]

Last week, the Los Angeles Times ran an article about the new government initiative on food which is the same as the old government initiative, except this time they mean it. From the LA Times article:
“The basic advice is the same. The new twist is that they’re recognizing the fact that it’s very hard for people [...]

A Facebook friend and a longtime reader sent me this pic: it’s the back cover of a 1950 Crisco cookbook that he and his wife inherited. I can’t help but note that the cover resembles some kind of an antiquated, commie flag.

I have no idea who B-Boy Super Inlight is, but apparently he is a real food enthusiast who put together this song video to “use hip Hop culture, as a way of inspiring different types of people to eat healthy.” I like the reference to the “lies and scandals” of the government’s food pyramid. Now [...]

Folks: a truly great website: Bacon Unwrapped. The website is a “a celebration of the deliciously sinful strip of cured pork belly.” Heroic!
Additionally, here’s a great piece in the (mainstream) Scientific American: “Carbs Against Cardio: More Evidence that Refined Carbohydrates, not Fats, Threaten the Heart.”
Eat less saturated fat: that has been the take-home message from [...]

Vegans, Hegans, Shegans, Wegans, and Super Vegans – what’s the difference? Considering the popularity (or unpopularity) of this recent post of mine on vegans, a reader sent me this article from The Atlantic.
On Wednesday, The Boston Globe informed its readership of the hottest new trend sweeping the nation: “heganism.” Never heard of it? Well [...]

This interview with ex-freak … ’scuse me, ex-vegan Kaleigh Mason is stunning. Kaleigh was not a vegetarian – she was a vegan. No longer. She takes the words right out of my mouth:
The reason the vegan philosophy would appeal to someone with an eating disorder is it fits right in with the program.  The vegan [...]
