A little over 200 years ago this nation was fighting for its independence from an oppressive government. The preamble to our Declaration of Indepence states:

I am vehemently opposed to HR 2749, which would place unnecessary burdens on small farm operations. The federal government continues to seek power over our nation’s food supply, hampering and taxing the small farmer while ignoring the unhealthful practices of the industrial giants.
The FDA isn’t content raiding vitamin supplement companies and preventing churches [...]

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’m reading even more than [...]

The paleolithic diet is the diet our ancestors ate prior to the agricultural revolution that occurred roughly 10,000 years ago. Our species hunted and ate plants the land produced naturally.
I came across a great video that shows how simple and sensible the paleo diet is. Enjoy!

1/3 cucumber

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 to [...]

I recently read Beating the Food Giants by Paul Stitt. He worked as a biochemist for Quaker Oats Company. While doing research in Quaker Oats’s library, he came upon a report describing tests done feeding the breakfast cereal Puffed Wheat to rats. Four groups of rats were fed the following:
Group 1: Whole-wheat kernels, water, vitamins [...]

I read an article today by Dr. Joel Fuhrman titled DHA Deficiency Linked to Parkinson’s. Fuhrman is an advocate of the vegan diet and has written several excellent books on health, diet and fasting, one of which I know has a meal plan that includes meat for those who eat it. (As an aside, I [...]
