I just read about HR 2749, Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009 at the FA/RM (Free Agriculture Restore Markets) site. One of the FAQs is: Q8: I am a raw milk consumer. Is it true that under HR 2749 would give FDA the power to institute a complete ban on the sale of raw milk? [...]

For years I advocated a plant-based diet as the healthiest. But I could never swing it myself despite several efforts. Now that I’m studying the paleolithic diet, I feel like I’m starting over with a mountain of information to climb. I haven’t been posting much because I’m reading, reading, reading.

I’ve tried eating a raw, vegan diet, but the longest I ever lasted was five days. And it was five days of constantly thinking about food, being hungry, and gorging on fats at night. I just couldn’t stick with it. I’ve given the paleolithic diet a good look, and it makes a lot of sense [...]

That’s right. Monday I drove to the restaurant, handed my apron to the banquet manager and said, “I’m throwing in the towel.” Her response? “Okay.” That was it.

I do some of my best writing in bed at night when my mind is tormented by fears and doubts. With the light off, I try to calm my agitated mind for sleep, but I eventually have to get up and start writing. I detest my new job. It’s not the waitressing that bothers me, [...]
