Something Positive To Put Out

My last post here was about the governor of Massachusetts, surrounded exclusively by a gaggle of women, signing a state bill into law that permits women to kill babies right up to the moment of birth. I suppose the next logical step on that road is already obvious. We hear endless blather about postpartum depression…

From Squalor to Luxury Part IV

I’ll just put it to you straight. I was fucking perturbed and outraged by a comment on one of my videos from some stupid fucking fake doctor, Dr. Gary Moore of San Antonio—a chiropractor, not a doctor. This guy has been pestering the hell out of me for the entire six and a half years…

From Squalor to Luxury

Yeah, that’s been a lot of my life for weeks now—going on two months. I’ve abided and sustained because I have this vision of a great tropical homestead, and I’m doing what it takes to make that happen. So I sit there and think and write and interact, but underneath it all I’m thinking about…

Making Full-Fat Ground Beef Your Diet Foundation

As you can see, that’s not carnivore diet compliant (plus there are other regular things like a few dates daily due to very high potassium … just 3 dates: 200 mg potassium). But I got to this place largely by seeing an increasing number of high-meat-eating and carnivore-diet types talk about going to all or…

Meat and Testosterone

I have seriously let myself go over months. I knew I was doing it, knew it would change and revert eventually, but was at the same time in a state of complacency as I was working through the phenomenon of being bored out of my skin about everything. I mentioned politics in my last post,……...

Time to Talk About the New Inverted Food Pyramid

An image of the new inverted food pyramid is actually a little bit difficult to find online, and there’s a damn good reason for that—which I’ll get into in a minute. You see, the food pyramid has been around since the 1950s or ’60s—some shit like that—but no human on this planet ever gave it…

RIP Art de Vany

You wouldn’t be reading this if not for Art. In 2007, on my own initiative, I began getting a grip on my health by cleaning up my diet and hitting the gym. But it was the way I was doing the gym that caught the interest of a reader who commented, “you sound like Art…

Startling Thoughts on Antibiotics

Greetings and Belated Thanksgiving Well-Wishes I hope all of you spent quality time with your loved ones—friends and family alike. And I hope you scored some great deals out and about on Friday if you’re into that traditional shopping frenzy. Just one more word about Thanksgiving: In some families, it’s tradition right before the feast……...

Snake Venom and Fountains of Youth

I’ve been in the doldrums for a while now, and that’s reflected in my production on this blog. Apologies to paying members, but along with that, I was always concerned about how I spike things up again. What happened is that I suddenly became, shall we say, financially independent. I don’t have to lift a…

I’m Finished With The Diet Wars. Boring. Useless.

Well, it’s been a long damn time since I first dove into this whole thing via a low-carb Paleo diet back in 2007 or 2008, sometime around there. I did damn well with it. I lost about 50-60 pounds, and serendipitously, I became somewhat of a dietary influencer. My blog grew—this very blog, FreeTheAnimal.com—and it…

Three Short Stories From My Thailand Life

OK, good afternoon, folks. I say good afternoon because it is afternoon here in Thailand—Pattaya, Thailand, to be exact—and it’s probably very late at night all across the United States. But hey, it’s afternoon for me, and that’s what counts. Anyway, I’m going to do three short stories today. The first one is about chicken…

Quick Hits and Brief Thoughts

– Mark Sisson is going to blog again. I was shocked yesterday to learn that my very long time buddy Sisson is tossing his hat in the ring to do more regular blogging like in the old days. Mark Sisson’s Unteathered. He has 3 posts up, and most of it is free unless you want…

A Million More Morons

Please excuse my absence for a while while I think a little bit more. Paying members don’t pay me to just regurgitate the same rotting piles of shit they get almost everywhere else. There is a lot going on, and there’s a lot of activity. Both on general politics and general diet/health. Always keep in…

The Paradox of Competitive Eating: Why Massive Meals Don’t Always Mean Massive Waistlines

In the world of viral food challenges, few sights are as mesmerizing—and perplexing—as competitive eaters like Randy Santel and his fiancée Katina DeJarnett (aka Katina Eats Kilos) demolishing gargantuan portions. Picture this: Randy scarfing down a 10-pound burger stack or Katina powering through kilos of ramen in under 30 minutes. These feats rack up thousands……...

The Sugar Diet Wars

I only caught wind of this nonsense a day or two ago, and my immediate reaction was a hard eye-roll. I don’t know Cole Robinson, the so-called Snake Diet guy, all that well. I skimmed some of his stuff way back when, and now I see he’s tangled up in this latest fad. Frankly, it’s……...
