Did you feel “Tied to The Whipping Post” in 2009, Maybe by the Alphabets…
Did the ADAs, the FDA, the Department of Agriculture and their major funders and lobbyists in the grain and pharmaceutical industries tie you to the Whipping Post in 2009 and beyond, going back forever? Just like Greg Allman? You don’t have to be tied up in 2010. And there’s my end of year message. (Though……...

“You have saved my life.”
That’s Lierre Keith, describing the email she gets from her book, The Vegetarian Myth (see previous link for reviews & to get the book). She’s talking about those 80% of vegetarians and vegans who fan-mail her; those relatively new to it (all life is style, nowadays), suffering from anxiety and depression. Good for you, Lierre: best……...

Laff Your Ass Off Nutrition
Via my good buddy Chris Highcock in Scotland, this is hilarious. And I love how they used computer-generated voices. Maybe I’m weird. It raises the possibility of a decent New Year’s Resolution: maybe we all — especially us bloggers — ought to take ourseves a little less seriously. Alright, back to serious nutrition & diet,……...

What Sets Grains Apart – It’s Not Starchy Carbs
This post is basically for the purpose of highlighting a couple of others’ posts on grains in case you haven’t seen them. First, Mark Sisson took on the "Better Fed" and "Feasting on Grains" nonsense I posted on the other day. Let’s suppose that Mercader’s dating estimates are correct. Let’s also suppose that the tools……...

Archives This Year and What’s in Store Shortime
Last year while vacationing up here at the cabin, I did a dozen reasonably substantive posts in one day — for fun (alcohol being a function of the last few, and just getting the last off by midnight — make sure to check out LSD Chicken). Here’s the wrap up post with the links to all……...

Can Cholesterol Get Any More Complicated?
I might have to put updates up as I continue to gather information (emails out to vetting sources) but I thought I’d put this up as a starter, maybe generate some conversation. I’ve posted a lot about cholesterol and how and why I don’t generally see it as a problem for most people on a……...

John Mackey: “We sell a bunch of junk.”
Indeed Whole Foods does. Thankfully, they also sell a lot of good stuff, albeit expensive good stuff — and in an environment I find quite pleasing most of the time. Mackey in the New Yorker.

Way More Important Than… (106 Pounds Lost in 7 Months)
I’m referring of course to this morning’s post which I’m not even going to link to. This is why I do this, folks and this is why I’m going to continue to defend the PRINCIPLES of the paleo and primal way. Let’s go back to early November where Chris reported to me and I reported……...

Same Shirt: Three Years & 60 Pounds Later
My friend Robert snapped the picture to the left this was cropped from sometime in the spring of 2007, nearly three years ago. The one to the right was Christmas evening, cutting up the prime rib.

My New Hero: 25-Year Vegetarian Christopher Gardner
Being a hero or gaining respect is easy: be honest. Bonus points for being honest when it’s the very last thing you desire to do. How you deliver honesty is irrelevant. That’s why I do it a bit rough, now and then. Dr. Gardner did it gently, and he did it in spades and spades……...

Would Including Grains Make You “Better Fed?”
I’ll have to file this as about the dumbest thing I’ve seen all week. Tons of readers have alerted me to articles out claiming that Stone Age man was "better fed than previously thought" and has been "feasting on grains for 100,000 years." It’s nonsense. U of C archeologist finds Stone Age man better fed……...

Vitamin D and Disease Incidence Prevention
For what reason I don’t know, but this January 2009 editorial by William Faloon of the Life Extension Foundation is making the rounds. Perhaps it just came available on the web.
