Iconoclasm: Your Presidents Are Supposed To Be Godlike, But Your God is a Rapist, Murderer, and Slaveholder
I love being primarily an iconoclast in everything I do. 25 years and counting. I kinda fell into it, after my formative years had been wasted on “Mother Goose.” Long story. I was out and about today and heard a bit of Dave Davies standing in for Terry Gross on Fresh Air (a program I…
Read MoreCalifornia Enacts ‘Yes Means Yes’ Law, Defining Sexual Consent
One fucktarded, regurgitated story, here. “Lack of protest or resistance does not mean consent,” the law states, “nor does silence mean consent. Affirmative consent must be ongoing throughout a sexual activity and can be revoked at any time.” So, is “yes, Yes, YES, YeSSSSS safe haven? …Close to the most anti-animal, ridiculous fodder for jilted cuntfmales…
Read MoreCold Rice and Bean Salad
I arrived back to San Jose yesterday afternoon, after a week away giving Beatrice time off from attending to two very spoiled and ornery rat terriers (she spoiled them; see how charitable I am IRL?). Checked email when I got back and a blog reader, Brian, had a link for me: Rice and Bean Resistant Starch…
Read MoreThinking Out Loud: Resistant Starch in Beans vs. Soaking Beans
Alright, here’s the brain teaser. So, since the beginning of this Resistant Starch Revolution, I was in San Jose all the time and did all the cooking of beans. And like a dutiful respecter of Wise Traditions methods, I always soaked them (mom and grand moms did too, when I was a kid). On the…
Read MoreWeekend Random Links and Commentary
Now that Facebook doesn’t have me to kick around anymore, I’ll be doing more link roundup posts of various sorts of things that I formerly put out on my Facebook profile and two pages. I’m thinking I’ll primarily do this on weekends. Perhaps sometimes under a single theme or category, other times just random. Let’s…
Read MoreLearning More and More By Knowing Less and Less
Normally I might just share this on Facebook with a rude sentence or two, but I don’t, anymore. Wolves can change rivers…I suppose, like butterflies can set off hurricanes? They—wolves—can change a lot of stuff once human fucktards begin to understand that they understand almost nothing, fundamentally. They are, however—humans—pretty expert at the “forensics”—imprecise and…
Read MoreFacebook Sent Me To Bed Without Any Dinner
Not going to make a big deal about this because frankly, I’ve been considering dumping all Facebook for a while. And so, I just did that. I just deleted (“deactivated” is the best you can do) my personal profile with its 30 friends (I modeled an HG society for friends. They were actually friends. I…
Read MoreThe Incredible Edible Tigernut
Having touched on the Tigernut previously, I thought it time for a complete review to encompass not only the aspects of its evolutionary roots in the human diet and impressive nutrition—both macro and micro—but also practical applications in our everyday lives. On that note, I have some interesting Tigernut food and drink experiences to share…
Read MoreQuick Open Memo to Jimmy Moore and Nora Gedgaudas
Laddies and Gentlemen: By now, you’ve seen this post and read it because you couldn’t resist: The War On Tastebuds. Should you actually take a close look and study the references, then surely you’ll know that you lose and I win. I can keep doing this for years, with every new study, while you rely upon…
Read MoreThe War On Tastebuds
Today I bring you another post by the remarkable “Duck Dodgers.” It’s part overview of the current state of the anthropological science in terms of hunter-gatherer diets, part critique of the current state of the low-carbohydrate Paleo fantasy that refuses to keep up with said advances in scientific understanding. In typical Duck style, he does his homework, so…
Read MoreWhat is this MYSTERIOUS gluten free flour I’m using?
All will be revealed Tuesday morning. I’ll give you a few hints: It’s NOT a nut flour It’s NOT a legume flour It IS naturally sweet As an “official tester,” I’ve used it in baking and most recently, breading for both liver and a trout dish. Calf Liver Wok Fried in Bacon Drippings and Coconut Oil…
Read MoreArtificial sweeteners induce glucose intolerance by altering the gut microbiota
Well now, this is very interesting on a number of levels. I don’t know if you recall, but it was some years ago the paleo Diet community (perhaps Low-Carb as well) was a buzz with how the use of artificial sweeteners led to physiologically high insulin levels in test subjects. Connecting the dots: elevated insulin…
Read MoreQuick Public Service Announcement: “Ketosis Induced Rash”
I’ve heard smatterings of anecdotes over the years about folks coming down with rashes while generally LC dieting (Paleo / Primal / Plain Jane LC). Tough to pin it on anything certain until someone experiments extensively and then does the PubMed crawl. So, posting this simply to get word out, in case anyone has had…
Read More7 Bigger-Than-Ever Challenges Everyone Should Know About Low-Carb Ketogenic Diets
Jamie Koonce Responds To Paleo Criticisms Of Ketogenic Diets (a Jimmy Moore Podcast) I’m wondering what your thoughts are on the prevailing dogma in the Paleo community that women need more carbohydrates than men and should avoid ketosis and intermittent fasting. These claims don’t seem to be backed up by any research. (At least I’m not…
Read MoreNo Worries. Scientists Get Busy. They Have to Take Someone Else’s Word On It.
I really did laf out loud. You’ll have to get about a 3rd-way through to laf too. Nick says: Nobody cares what you think of climate change Richard. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_opinion_on_climate_change Richard Nikoley says: You do, apparently. Didn’t look at the link, obviously you’re enamored of Argumentum ad populum, and so dunning kruger you don’t even recognize…
Read MoreAnarchy Begins With Eating Shit: How Does the FDA Regulate DIY Fecal Transplants?
The title is a takeoff on my 9-Part “Anarchy Begins at Home” series, as well as my 20min AHS12 Presentation at Harvard U: Paleo Epistemology and Sociology… I was cleaning up my draft folder this morning (19 posts in some state of draft) and came across this nearly finished one from last February that never got…
Read MoreHint: Way Easier To Change What You Think Rather That What You Believe
Dary Pino Rose is a buddy. She calls me “dude.” Lunch With Kevin Rose’s Wife 🙂 You know how I know she’s legit? I pitched her a totally fucktarded idea in email last week involving the general food-health-gut-o-sphere, and she called me on it. I lacked perspective she had; I had to agree, once I…
Read MoreCould A Good Gut Microbiome Turn Lectins, Phytates and Saponins Into Nutrients?
Well, it seems to turn some poison into food for some mice. Poop Transplants Let Pack Rats Eat Poison Can’t eat poison without dying? Maybe your gut microbes are to blame. Rodents in the Mojave Desert have evolved to eat toxic creosote bushes with the help of specialized gut bacteria. Although scientists had long suspected…
