I continue in amazement at my readers' ability to increase the scope and influence of this blog. I had no idea, back in August, that in switching from years of go-nowhere political blogging to something I was more passionate about would be such a positive move. See for yourself. I. Am. Delighted.
Yet another record breaker, with nearly 40k visits and just shy of 70k page views. There's no doubt in my mind that even though I work pretty hard at this, I'm only one guy, and growth comes from you introducing Free the Animal to friends, family and acquaintances.
I am in your debt, but I'll also beg of you to continue the introductions, if you like what you read here.
I'm going to forego the top posts and top referrers for this one month to give you a bit of a preview as to what's coming.
I think it was back in August or September when I floated the proposition of making a business proposition out of this whole thing. Relax. The blog will never change: free and open, and that's my sincere promise to you.
On the other hand, I have a number of things calling my attention. My primary business. A startup, along with the many recent meetings with venture capitalists in San Francisco, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and, of course, on Sand Hill Rd. -- VC capital of the world. I also have a small real estate development in which I'm the principal investor and the managing partner. That has been delayed for obvious R/E market reasons, but ground breaking is anticipated within months.
The bottom line is that I'm most passionate about this, in the long term.
In the next few days I will be outlining my plan for World Paleo Domination with you.

Only The Beginning





Your blog is growing more popular for one reason – it is an awesome resource! Keep up the good work.
You deserve all the success you achieve. Thank you for providing an amazing resource to all of us that are trying to find our way against convention wisdom [insert scary music].
Hi Richard, I pass on your website address to anyone who is interested, I recently was asked about a low carb book I was reading, and from there the discussion went automatically to giving the person your website. I love doing this as it is free, but also it is has easy access to photo journal showing your weight loss journey. PLUS the links to Arthur De Vany and Mark's Daily Apple, which I read regularly – and its all in one place for newcomers to peruse. Your site will continue to grow because you are open sharing what and whom you know. Although I am tempted to become a Twitter member, I just enjoy looking at your Twitters on this site. Thanks for it all, you are really a force for good.
Wanted to comment on your note about animals getting their vitamin D3 in their fur and by licking their fur transfer into their system. Did you know some of the Vit D3 in oil capsules come from the fur of sheep (in the lanolin I think), the Vit D3 is extracted and put into oil solution in capsules. I found this out from asking about Vit D3 from retailer in the UK.
yep, that's what led me to the dog fur.
Thanks, Pauline. It is but the beginning.
