Government to Regulate Your Whole Life. Again.

Monday, August 9, 2010 21:06 9 Comments

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 [...]

Food for Thought

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 [...]

Monday, June 28, 2010 20:23 10 Comments

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 [...]

Food Totalitarians Ramp Up Their “Wars”

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 [...]

You Can Eat It?

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.

Anarcho-Paleo Food Rap?

Tuesday, May 11, 2010 21:09 No Comments

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.

Butt Naked Bacon / Evil Carbs

Wednesday, April 28, 2010 21:03 11 Comments

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 [...]

Male Vegans Secede From Vegan Movement

Saturday, March 27, 2010 11:26 6 Comments

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 [...]

Another Vegan Learns to Live Life Again

Sunday, March 21, 2010 17:56 35 Comments

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 [...]
