Big Salad; with Tuna & Blueberries

Every now and then I get real hungry for a big salad with either grilled chicken or tuna on it. Last night was just such a night. Other than getting tuna fresh, which I sometimes do and usually sear it, this is the only canned tuna I ever eat: High Seas Tuna. It’s all surface,…

Stop the Madness: Vegans Keep Killing Their Kids

A Juxtaposition: The spotting of a nutritionally fraudulent counterfeit Last evening I was contemplating yet another post on the nutritional inadequacy of a vegan diet, particularly a raw vegan diet and even more particularly: a raw, fruitarian vegan diet.

Bits & Pieces: Life in the Human Zoo

Well this was bound to happen eventually Over the last couple of days I was, at first, dumbfounded and then at once, on a mission;  and then idle. I had decided to post about a certain "new thing" where instead of snorting cocaine — "the other white powder" — one "uses" white sugar and…it’s all…

Idle Sunday Afternoon Meanderings

I think that the older one gets, the weirder it can be when weird things suddenly pop into your mind for no apparent reason, and that you haven’t thought about for years, even decades. Well, I can’t even remember the last time I thought about this film from 1965/6 that my parents saw at a…

Motivation to Have a Big-Ass Steak This Weekend

When I picked up my CSA package from the Marin Sun Farms drop-point on Wednesday (five minutes from my house), I noticed that there were two T-bone steaks included. And that they were massive. One clocked in at 1.2 and the other, a whopping 1.6 pounds, about 25.5 ounces. I might have put them in…

My Evil Paleo Plot Comes to Full Fruition

I lied. See, back last week when I posted about my most recent podcast interview (My Podcast Interview at Paleo Weekly: My Evil Plot, Revealed), I didn’t really reveal the whole Evil Plot in that podcast. That was just to make you think I did so you’d consider listening. Sure, I spent a lot of…

The MovNat Before & After Skills Videos

For those new here, or who didn’t notice before, I attended a 5-day MovNat workshop last summer at beautiful Summersville Lake, West Virginia. I blogged extensively about the experience (Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4 and Day 5). Basically: We ate pretty pure Paleo and moved around a lot in a natural setting,…

The Elephant in the Evolutionary Room

Yea, we’re such pristine, evolved frugivores. Don’t know about you, but that looks to me like a highly evolved skill (what balls growing supplement they’re taking, I don’t know). Note the ages of those men. Here’s what I see after numerous viewings: an elder who has done this dozens of times and two young’ns, learning…
