Land of the Free Update: Raw Milk & Vernon Hershberger
About to jump on a plane for a weekend trip. Destination, pool side near Palm Springs. I’d wanted to write more about the video that follows, but it pretty much speaks for itself. Watch. Think the Mafia metaphor is a bit much? I don’t. Quite the contrary. The Mafia would actually be marginally easier to……...

Free the Animal Blog Initiatives – Promoting the Paleo and Primal Path
I’ve been spending a good dead of time both unsatisfied with how this blog has been meandering along and wondering what, if anything, I might want to do about that. Here’s a possibility, from an email received just this morning, copied verbatim. I got into your site by chance on browsing.your website sounds impressive to……...

This Says All You Ever Need to Know About Veganism
Very impressive research and analysis but, at the end of the day, we all only believe what we WANT to believe. For example, one person may read the bible and think it’s the greatest story ever told and also believe that it’s the truth. Another person may read the bible and conclude that it’s really……...

“High Cholesterol,” Statins & Diabetes
My mom went to the doc yesterday. As a Type 2 diabetic who controls it pretty well, she nonetheless still does regular visits. She’s very low-carb Paleo-ish, and while she was able to be off insulin for a time completely, still finds she needs very small doses now and then. To the endocrinologist’s credit (a……...

Lamb Shoulder Chops and Roasted Curried Cauliflower
Before I get to the pictures of naked food caught in compromising positions, I’m going to relate a short story. As I’ve written about many times, I lived in France for a couple of years in the early 90’s. A couple of years after I left, I went back to visit some friends, ending up……...

What Two Ignorant Morons Having a Discussion Sounds Like
"Dr. Holly Phillips spoke to Maggie Rodriguez about the grave dangers of eating red meat daily." That was from March of 2009. I actually blogged about the stupid non-study behind such nonsense that passes for news reporting. Dr. Eades demolished it as well. I don’t know if it’s just me, but it seems as though……...

The Sunday Rant
Well, I name a lot of new things — like “Friday Bullshit!” What I’ve found is that I need to name a lot of things and come up with lots of ideas, most of which will fall by the wayside. But that doesn’t mean I’m not going to surprise you with Bullshit! on a Friday….…...

First Free The Animal Giveaway – $120 Value
Let me get this out of the way: not a big fan of all the contests & giveaways I see out there. Typically they involve some sort of hoop jumping and a prize. Fine, not a big deal, just that I always wonder what motivates people to do the hoops. Y’know what I mean? So……...

Friday Morning Notes, Links & Quick Hits
So much going on that I only have time for a few quit his and random updates. ~ Entirely experimental for now but I tossed together a personal blog for those who might be interested. I’ve been toying with the idea of making FTA less about me and more about the community, the process, the……...

So You Think You Can’t Cook?
As you probably know, I’m no snob when it comes to grassfed beef. Sure, I love it, use it a lot, but there’s just something about the "grassfed" culture in the paleo movement that rubs me the wrong way, just a tad. There’s no question it’s the better choice on a number of levels, but……...

Flying Like Birds: Evolutionarily Unnecessary; Passion Nonetheless
It’s quite interesting to me that the root of our desire to fly simply comes from observing birds doing it so naturally (are you not wondrously amazed to observe them?). Indeed, it’s the most fundamental aspect of a bird’s nature. It’s…fucking…DEFINING. In general, and with minuscule exception, birds fly. It’s what they do. (Note to……...

Carne Asada & Spicy Mega Guac
Inspired by MovNat meals (see the last photo at the link) I have been enjoying grilled carne asada, prepping guacamole as far more than a garnish or dip. Instead, think substitute for mashed potatoes. Do a lot. Tell your guests that rice & beans suck nutritionally by comparison. Fill up on the guac instead. So……...

Ginormous Meals for Fat Loss, Leanness and Conditioning
I really didn’t see this coming Throughout my progress from initially starting the process by eating high-fat/low-carb paleo/primal combined with episodic fasting and brief intense workouts I often remarked at how non-hungry I usually was. And that’s a good thing. But what if when you do eat — and this is very paleo — you……...
