Chicken Wing Cupcakes or Raccoon’s Ass?

Saturday, February 4, 2012 12:46 No Comments

You can’t make this stuff up. Be very prepared…. From an article in USA Today: I was thinking about the Super Bowl. What goes with the Super Bowl but chicken wings? And I said, ‘Oh, a chicken wing cupcake, Rachel?’ And I tried five or six recipes and the last recipe when I was ready to [...]

A Fast Foodist’s Wet Dream

Sunday, January 29, 2012 14:43 4 Comments

Taco Bell wants its “fair share” of causing autoimmune disorders, cancer, cardiovascular disease, gluten attacks, diabetes, and other fun stuff. Looking at this thing makes me queasy. That stuff on the bottom is supposed to be sausage. The stuff on top is supposed to be eggs. People actually eat this stuff, and they claim to [...]

George Did the Opposite of What the Government Says

Tuesday, January 10, 2012 21:35 No Comments

Mark Sisson has featured a gentleman on his website, George Steffner, who has a wonderful story (and photos). George writes, “I had recently heard an interview about folks who followed a particular eating lifestyle. It wasn’t a diet.” The show George is talking about is Lew Rockwell’s podcast with me, “Government Hates Good Health.” During [...]

Tuesday, January 10, 2012 18:45 No Comments

Primitive man walks into office cubicle area and sees a line of fully developed humans sticking cardboard boxes covered with plastic into microwave ovens, where the result is a foul, burning, chemical-y smell, followed by the humans removing what appears to be shriveled testicles (those are actually processed salisbury steaks in a “Lean Cuisine” meal) [...]

Holiday Fermented Pork Sauerkraut

I try to eat fermented foods at least once or twice a week to facilitate the restoration of beneficial bacteria and a healthy gut. Like fat and organ meats, this is one of those stellar foods that most folks are lacking in their diet. Since I have not yet found the time to ferment my own [...]

Tom Woods Interviews Mark Sisson

Monday, December 19, 2011 19:26 No Comments

When Tom Woods first announced, a couple of months ago, that he was considering kicking the federal food pyramid out of his house, he got amazing responses. I believe Tom mentioned that he had more comments from his “Should I go Primal?” post than any other previous post on his website. This is a nice [...]

Paleo-Primal Beef Bone Broth

Saturday, December 17, 2011 14:45 3 Comments

I know that some of my libertarian-Austrian Economics colleagues worry about my blog becoming a paleo/primal/foodie blog (and it won’t), however, some things food-related are just too good to pass up for the KDC blog. I love to make bone broth during the winter months. Bone broth is one of the most natural, satisfying, and [...]

The 3 Million Year Old “Fad Diet”

Saturday, December 10, 2011 20:00 No Comments

Here’s conservative-libertarian writer Jack Hunter on his experiences going paleo (eating real food) and telling the establishment to stick it. But what continues to fascinate me is the generally conservative premise of the Primal Blueprint — that the experts who’ve told us for years that eating whole grains and fiber was a healthy alternative to [...]

Federal Dietary Guidelines for Boobus

Saturday, December 3, 2011 5:23 3 Comments

In spite of the fact that 40 years of the government’s dietary guidelines, the launching of countless health agencies, and force-feeding Americans the USDA-approved health and wellness paradigm has only made people fatter and sicker, some folks think that rinse and repeat is a viable strategy. Counting calories is still a popular fetish in spite [...]

Dr. Brownstein, author of Salt Your Way to Health, says – “Lower your salt intake? No way!” Dr. Brownstein analyzes a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association. For years, I have been lecturing and writing about the nonsensical argument the conventional powers-that-be claim that lowering salt in the diet will reduce your risk [...]
