Getting ‘A Head’ Of Yourself An article in Wednesday’s Dining Section of the Times discussed something many people would likely be averse to: eating heads of animals. The focus was on a trend currently seen on the menus in Chinese cities whereby “the heads of rabbits, ducks and fish have become popular items.” Makes sense […]

Yes, I’m going there. Aside from seven year old boys (or maybe boys of all ages…)most of us don’t want to talk about it, and it’s gotten to the point where we’re uncomfortable discussing it. However, the frequency that one has a bowel movement can provide insight into their health. What’s normal? Well, that can […]

If I were to suggest to you that it’s a good idea to eat a balance of local, fresh veggies with some fruit, some natural, wild proteins and unadulterated fat at each meal and not to eat items in packages or cans, would you argue with me? I will admit to being far more dogmatic […]

Many things can factor into how quickly one sees changes after beginning to integrate the principles of Paleo living into their daily regime.

“Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes are fortified with 10 essential vitamins and minerals, have no cholesterol and are fat-free“, screams a box of uber-sugary, ultra-processed and super-refined cereal from the aisle. Oh, and they’re also a “great source of vitamin D“. I have a huge problem with this. Is anyone out there really choosing a box of […]
