Yoga-A Very Paleoista Thing to Do

The classical techniques of Yoga date back more than 5,000 years.  Paleo dates back…just a tad bit longer (2,495,000 years more, but who’s counting).

Healthy Fat Does Not Equal Unlimited Fat

“Eat all the fat you want on the Paleo Diet, as long as there’s no trans fat.”  Pardon me? “Use as much butter and cream as you like; just make sure it’s from grass fed cows.”   Come again? “Bacon is fair game, every day, or multiple times per day.”  Sorry? This is not the […]

Farm to…Bowl

You’ve heard of farm to table?  Well, how about farm to bowl?  As in, food for your pet? I think it’s brilliant and, not surprisingly, I found it just around the corner at my favorite local butcher in Chelsea, Dickson’s Farmstand Meats. I was stocking up on grass fed cow’s liver and pork kidney for […]
