“To lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals.” – Benjamin Franklin Excellent! Always a man ahead of his time; cool Ben, the original proponent of intermittent fasting The Ancestral Health Symposium, 2011 In a word, just a fabulous, fabulous, 2-day event. I won’t go into a complete re-tread of of AHS 2011 events here; soon enough, [...]
No passion so effectively robs the mind of all of its powers of acting and reasoning as fear. Edmund Burke The question of “why should there be a hypertrophy response at all” has puzzled me for some time. On the surface, inflated muscle mass does seem to be a grossly inefficient answer (in metabolic terms) [...]
C’mon, Tourette’s-like fits? Yes; indeed. And I’m still pissed. So much so that I’m gettin’ ready to go all Richard Nikoley on some serious mainstream ignorance. Okay, so my man Richard is the undisputed king of the verbal beat-down, and this post won’t come near to his standards, but you get the point. And the [...]
“Fear paralyzes; curiosity empowers. Be more interested than afraid.” – Patricia Alexander Having spent 17+ years in the pharmaceutical industry leaves me somewhat reluctant to jump wholesale on the bash-the-pharmaceutical-bastards bandwagon.

Grass-fed eye of chuck, butternut squash and cauliflower mix, free-range pork sausage, roasted free-range chicken quarters and a little sweet potato. Good meals, and plenty of leftovers to boot. By the way, you’ll notice that there’s very little [...]
“The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.” – Socrates Crock pot meals may, to the culinary artist, boarder on the unimaginative, but they sure are easy as all hell to throw together — and they’re not too bad in the taste department, either. And hey, for those of us who’d rather [...]
NPR covered an interesting story yesterday in relation to the Institute of Medicine‘s recommendation that the FDA seek some form of governmental regulation in regard to the salt content of processed foods.

“Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.” – Sir Arthur Wing Pinero
