If youve been reading this blog long enough, youll know I have a rather dim view of reporters. Besides a tiny number I count as friends, Ive had some bad experiences where I spent a lot of time...
Something very strange happened to me recently. It was almost as I if was reenacting 2008. Its hard to believe its been that long, that its 2012 now and its been nearly 4 years ago since I hopped on ...
Ugh, I got back from Europe this week and I feel like I have so much catching up to do. Books to review, emails to answer, projects to finish, mad programming skillz to acquire, apartment to sp...
In the US, liver has been in the news with the California foie gras ban going into effect. However, I hadnt heard until today that Japan is going through its own liver debate. If you have asked...
Growing up in Marietta, Georgia, I played outside quite a bit, but while our neighborhood had some nice creeks and forests, it did not have any sidewalks. When you went somewhere, you got there...
A reader alerted me that the Nytimes has put up the finalists for the meat ethics contest I mentioned before. Foolishly, they are allowing the readers to vote on them (the tyranny of the enthus...
You know, its kind of amazing to realize that you can get pretty good craft beer at nearly any convenience store in a city. You can even get it at a random mediocre bar your friend dragged you to for...
People keep sending me The Myth of Sustainable Meat by James McWilliams. If youve followed this blog long enough youll know Ive blogged about James before. Im also a regular commenter on hi...
Just last week a guy named Joe contacted me on Facebook to tell me about his Kickstarter project- a paleo food cart! I didnt get around to blogging about it until today and in the meantime it was ful...
I like to blog about a lot of fancy stuff, but in reality, its not every day Im making braised local grass-fed oxtails and wild caught sea bass. Life gets in the way. But that doesnt mean you h...
A few years ago, when I was in college, I was on a volunteer trip in the North of Wisconsin and I was invited to an Ojibwe sweatlodge. I had never had an experience like that before. It was inc...
In my last post, I wrote about how its impossible for epigenetic changes from very cold environments 3-4 billion years ago to have been conserved. Somehow people thought I was accusing Dr. Krus...
An old lady about half my size almost pushed me into a bucket of fish today. I had just wanted in to Isaacson and Stein and I was kind of disoriented. I felt like I hadnt walked into a fish sho...
In my last post on the subject of Dr. Jack Kruse, AKA, The Quilt, I briefly touched on the misuse of the ideas of quantum theory. Not long after, the WSJ had an excellent article on the mis-use...
The New York Times recently announced a contest to write an essay on why its OK to eat meat. They made it clear that entries that engage in the naturalistic fallacy and a smattering of other si...
When I was first becoming a foodie in college I decided to switch my major to food science. I registered for most of the required basic science courses, as well as the intro class for majors. Unfortu...
Ive written before on how the typical "paleo" paradigm didnt fix my digestive problems. Thats because paleo divides things into good and bad in a somewhat arbitrary manner. The realit...
Ive been wearing minimalist/barefoot type shoes to exercise in for a few years now. But the thing is that I live a pretty active lifestyle on a day to day basis. In my urban environment, I often walk...
When humans started transitioning towards agrarian ways of life around 10,000 years ago, it wasnt just the types of food that changed. It wasnt just about more reliance on grains and less on meat, bu...
How is it possible to have so many brilliant meals in such a short span of time? I thought about that as I ate at one Sister, a small private supper club run by brilliant up and comer Iliana Re...
Ive been listening to a little bit of the Paleo Summit and today I listened to Nora Gedgaudas presentation on "safe" starches. You can still catch it for another hour or so I think, b...
A couple of months ago I tangled with Dr. Rosedale, a prominent low-carb advocate who was talking about how his diet is better than the Kitavan diet at improving markers of longevity, like...
This week I spent almost my entire food budget for the month on one meal and it was completely worth it even if it means I have to eat just ground beef from my dads farm for the rest of the tim...
Since late last year, Ive been working from home. I live in a studio apartment, which is because I prefer having more money for food and travel, rather than more space I have to clean and pay for. So...
Dr. Lustigs recent moralistic tirade on how we are all so fat and unhappy because are trying to get pleasure from food reminded me of exactly why I love food. For me, gaining a better relations...
I realized something hilarious today. Dr. Jack Kruse is the What the Bleep Do We Know? of Paleo. You know, that pretentious movie about "quantum physics" that was actually woo dressed up in...
I read an advanced copy of Why Women Need Fat when I was moving and because things were so hectic, I didnt have time to review it before it was released. I havent heard that much about it though, exc...
I wish someone had told me in high school that I didnt have to get up at 6 AM every morning to fuss with my hair in order to get a sleek smooth look. Turns out that the natural oil most America...
A couple of days ago, a feminist site posted a quick little rant that used Erwan Le Corre as a segue to talk about how this whole "paleo" trend was promoting some hyper-patriarchal ma...
Maybe because I just moved from NYC to Chicago, I was a little insulted by this little rant the New York Times published on the horrible life of a vegetarian in the Midwest. Of course, she lump...
