The Moderate Starchy Carbohydrate Experiment

Saturday toward the end of my post I proposed another of my self experiments. Alright. Time for a bit of self experimentation. Today is Saturday, 2/25 and as providence would have it, I’m recording another podacst with the great low-carb diet advocate Jimmy Moore next Friday, 3/2 (rather than the usual months, it will air…

Pork Carnitas Stuffed Sweet Potato

This is ridiculously fast and simple, provided you have your carnitas on hand already, or get some from a local mexican market or restaurant. In my case I had a package on hand from Trader Joe’s. Here’s the whole process. Nuke or bake your sweet potato. If you nuke it, I find that about 5…

Comrade Child: Your Lunchbox, Please

[Edited for satirical clarity.] FTAWIRE — A Comrade child at West Hoke People’s Elementary School ate three people’s chicken nuggets for lunch Jan. 30 because the school told her the lunch her proletariat mother packed was not nutritious.

BWVAKTBOOM: Vegan Male Sexual Performance Propaganda

The thing about propaganda as distinct from plain old lying—to my mind at least—is that propaganda techniques are required when the lie is a really big one; like when the truth is the exact 180 degree opposite.

A Johnny Cash Eulogy for Whitney Houston

Email about 4pm PST yesterday, from Beatrice, on a girl’s weekend…in Pismo Beach, subject implied. Dead at 48. It was Saturday afternoon, I’d been doing some work earlier, cracked open the whiskey…only minutes before. I read that email, went out to the patio, and I wept for her. I always rooted for Whitney. It was…

My Furry Little Mouse Friend Bit The Dust

I can’t be sure this is the same friend I saw one night up in the metal awning structure in my backyard well over a year ago. They all look the same. But maybe the eye contact wasn’t just generic. He looked at me for a bit, as if to size me up, then scurried…

How About We Just “Make It Paleo”?

For my next “give back” segment, let me start off with a criticism. Don’t you just loath those two sweethearts, staring into each other’s eyes, as though you and I don’t matter? The youth of it? And just damn them for finding out about healthful living when they get to enjoy it to its fullest…

Peanut Butter in Sauce For a Burger?

This is a post that’s been sorta relaxing, sipping scotch in the back of my mind since last August after the Ancestral Health Symposium (AHS11). It has to do with the dispute and controversy between Gary Taubes, author of Good Calories, Bad Calories and Why We Get Fat, and Dr. Stephan Guyenet, a long time…
