Break Out The Popcorn: PaleoDrama Ensues
Note: This post is uncategorized and tagged only with “paleo drama.”” Comments are closed. As much as my personality yearns for another comment “Hate Circus,” it’s just not going to happen here (or on any other current comment threads). Looked back at some of the drama posts from last spring and those comment threads often……...
Read More“Give Back,” so Everyone Gets a “Fair Share”
Forbes: ‘Give Back’ Is One of the World’s Most Impoverishing Commands “Give back.” That’s the message sent to successful businessmen. You built a company? You made a lot of money? Fine. Now it’s time for you to use the money you’ve made to do some real good in the world. Apparently, creating our modern standard of……...
Read MoreJonathan Bailor of The Smarter Science of Slim Interviews Me
A while back I included Jonathan Bailor’s non-profit “Slim is Simple” initiative in a roundup of various things PGP (Pretty Good Paleo). I was happy to do so, immediately saw the very many positives about the video as a teaching tool (yea, I could make some constructive critiques)…and was subsequently surprised at some of the……...
Read MoreGet Nacho Rubio a Cooking Show, Please
I Put up his first two hilarious Paleo / Primal Cooking videos just over a year ago here: He “Woks” the Talk and Talks to the Wok. If you didn’t see those, go watch. They’re a few minutes each. The first is Mediterranean Chicken Curry and the second, Tuna Tataki with Gazpacho. Here’s his next two. Spanish Omelet with Caramelized……...
Read MoreSTOP EVERYTHING: NEW POPE
An Euphemism free post It’s not that I care, because I never have. What’s hilarious to me is how much the Catholic Church has become a plain-jane-respected Institution to whom governments the world over now kowtow. It was better when they were at bitter odds. Those who love Obama (or Bush) overlook the fact that many innocents, including women……...
Read MoreThe Whole Logic Behind the Milk Intervention, Part 2
Here’s Part 1 for review, where I critiqued what I believe are the chief arguments in favor of avoiding milk from a Paleo, evolutionary perspective. I neglected to address the A1 vs. A2 genetic lineage of dairy producing cows, and so I added that as an update to the post this morning. So I find the reasons……...
Read MoreTwo Success Stories: Rescued from Vegetarian and Back to High School Weight
It’s always great to stop and realize that eating an evolutionarily appropriate diet for human animals actually helps human animals improve their lives. Yep, there’s a point to this after all and it goes far beyond any drama or nit-picking minutiae anyone can bother to conjure up. The first is a story from The Independent that I……...
Read MoreThe Whole Logic Behind the Milk Intervention, Part 1
I didn’t take much stock in the opening of this guy’s account of his experience—that of dropping 33 pounds in six weeks—when I read it the first time. I really shouldn’t tell you this. My wife wasn’t sure about it, my friends just laugh, but I’d like to let you in on the secret anyway….…...
Read MoreLand of the Free and Home of The Totally Batshit Crazy Update
Somebody could make a career out of this ~ You’ve probably all heard of the 7-yr-old Baltimore kid, Josh Welch, who was suspended for a couple of days from the Park Elementary School for failing to chew his Pop-Tart into the shape of a mountain, instead ending up with the shape of a gun! To be……...
Read MoreI Can Make You a Kefir and a Chess Expert in a Week
You know the drill. Got several hudred new Newsletter subscribers since that post right after the email last night and didn’t even mind that a few nefarious souls (seven) signed up, got the Newsletter link, then unsubscribed and reported me to their ISPs as a spammer. Onward. So just about a little more than a……...
Read MoreFirst 8 Days on the Raw Milk, Kefir, and Kombucha Diet
As a white, northern Barbarian genetically, I think I’ve found my niche in terms of fat loss, lean retention, and even lean gain in spite of a substantial caloric deficit. Yea, I know…. But I’ve explained why, and even in contrast to potatoes. Just wrote all about the first 8 days on raw milk and my own……...
Read MoreSustainability Sushmainability: Hey Vegans, How Does a Dozen Grassfed Cattle Per Person on Earth Sound?
Allan Savory: How to green the world’s deserts and reverse climate change I can’t recall when I’ve ever felt so serendipitously fortunate to happen to catch a video and spend 20 minutes enthralled with it. You know, nowadays, everyone’s always telling you to watch this and watch that and unless it’s like a minute or……...

Read MoreYou Can’t Fix Stupid, Ignorant, or the Junk Food Industry
This is all going to be preaching to the choir, of course…except for those so-called “Paleos” who imagine government can modify people’s behavior through force and coercion, instead of through individuals and private institutions educating, motivating, encouraging, and setting an example. Seems as though the standard for too many is only to Do Some-thing, with……...
Read More“Creative Destruction,” “Stimulus,” or “Transfer”…It’s Still The Parable of the Broken Window
It’s difficult for me to believe that we still live in a time where taking money from some party and “transferring” it to another is somehow seen as beneficial to any society or economy in any measure whatsoever. It’s equally difficult for me to believe that we still live in a time where something of value……...
Read MoreIs grass-fed beef worth the premium price?
by Rich Coffman I have made many improvements in my nutrition over the last year. Like most health oriented people, my goal is simple: to eat the best quality food possible. This article dives into the reasons why grass-fed beef is a healthier choice that is worth the premium price. I had heard many times……...
Read MoreReporter for a Major Magazine Seeks the “Paleo-Libertarian Connection”
I’m in touch with a writer doing a commissioned piece for a major publication on the Paleo-Libertarian Connection. Many of us have talked about it over the years: how come paleo is so attractive to libertarians of various stripes (minarchist to anarchist), as a group…to the general frustration and dismay of all the paleo socialists?……...
