Recipe Roundup

Saturday, February 27, 2010 11:13 4 Comments

I’m doing some morning perusing in the food/nutrition blogosphere this morning. One thing I want to link up for all of my primal/paleo readers is Heather Lackey’s new blog, “InThe FoodMoment.” Her posts are straight-up and lacking in any B.S. She has an interesting story about getting smart on all things food.
That said, I am [...]

Today I was alerted to this older post – from 2007 – on Mark Sisson’s blog. It’s a very interesting post about Mark’s experience at a health retreat spearheaded by the vegetarian guru Dr. John McDougall. Here’s a snippet of Sisson’s experiences at Camp McDougall titled, “My Escape from Vegan Island.”
The attendees were generally divided [...]

Taco Hell

Thursday, February 11, 2010 21:32 7 Comments

Last month I posted this bit about Taco Bell and its new marketing ploy to sell its garbage-disguised-as-food as “healthy.” The gist of the marketing campaign was Taco Bell’s new “incredible options,” with a slim woman – who obviously dines on Taco Bell! – as its spokesperson. Taco Hell’s “drive-thru diet” (that sounds so American) [...]

New Post of My Old Post

Friday, February 5, 2010 19:38 3 Comments

I know this post seems like a repeat, but it isn’t. It is based on this post from 2 weeks ago, but I have added a ton, including many resources at the bottom of the piece. Lew Rockwell had read the post on my blog and he told me he wanted to link to it [...]

Primal Life: A Journey of Diet and Health

Friday, February 5, 2010 19:04 20 Comments

Note: The word “diet,” as used in this piece, refers to habitual nourishment, not a short-term “weight-loss” fixation.
People write me often and ask about resources, books, websites, etc. that point to the primal/paleo lifestyle and/or diet that I often refer to in my posts such as this one titled, ‘The Medical Establishment is Pathetic.” In [...]

Primal Life: Diet and Health

Saturday, January 23, 2010 16:10 24 Comments

People write me often and ask about resources, books, websites, etc. that point to the primal/paleo lifestyle/diet I often refer to in my posts such as this one. I’ve undergone a somewhat long and exploratory process to get to the point where I am now eating only fresh, whole, natural foods - real foods, such as [...]

The BMI-Obesity Police Are Hanging With the Salt Police

Thursday, January 21, 2010 21:52 5 Comments

The BMI-Obesity militarized police force is at your door, and they would love to stick your child into “intensive weight management programs” when necessary. And certainly, “when necessary” is open to a wide array of interpretations. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) – yes, Virginia, there is such a thing – recommends that all [...]

The Medical Establishment is Pathetic

Tuesday, January 19, 2010 21:01 9 Comments

These retarded articles in the foreign press have worn out their welcome: “Ban butter to save our hearts, says doctor.” Nearly the entire mainstream medical establishment has turned to nitwit science to support their shallow conjectures. Each time one of them jokers has a new thought that has entered into his fetid brain, we get [...]

Fitness & Food Fluff

Saturday, January 16, 2010 16:36 3 Comments

I continue to be flabbergasted by Americans and their desire for a perpetual dose of fluff. Here a fluff, there a fluff, everywhere a fluff fluff ……
Nikoley points this out, which gave me a chuckle. Sylvia Anderson writes for Insiders Health, which is termed an “alternative health journal.” It’s actually a web magazine full of [...]
