Free the Animal: The Manifesto

Manifesto: A public declaration of principles and intentions. It’s probably about time I set about to differentiate and distinguish. Version 1.0 1. You must think yourself lean and thin, and strong and healthy…to a proper regulation of hunger and satiation. There is no prescription or proscription that will necessarily work for you.

Cookbook Review: Everyday Paleo

I submit to you that it doesn’t even take going Paleo or Primal “everyday” to not get a wealth of good out of this book, Everyday Paleo. I have included it in my series of cookbook reviews…because it’s a cookbook. …But it’s more than that and I think, fills a very nice niche. In my last review,…

Paper Thin Chicken Soup

The Bullshit Archives

It’s reasonably clear to me that I have a good turnover in readers. I should expect that. I do expect that. While there are always those few who send me emails, letting me know that they’ve been loyal readers since even the pre-paleo days, even before I made this place exclusively paleo friendly, there are…
