It’s really difficult to know where to start with this review of “Defending Beef” by Nicolette Hahn Niman (The Case for Sustainable Meat Production: The Manifesto of an Environmental Lawyer and Vegetarian Turned Cattle Rancher). After taking about 40 notes in the first 100 pages, I gave up due to the

It’s easy to be a fanboy and say everything Paleo is “super fantastic and will always be great no matter what!” But we need to keep it real. I liked this movie. I really did. I just didn’t love it. “The Magic Pill” is not “The One” movie I was

At first glance, you may only see a silly guy running around the woods playing “native,” but Arthur Haines is actually doing something very interesting and useful for the Paleo community. In this great presentation, it’s clear Haines is well educated on the topic of hunter-gatherer diets and lifestyles. At Paleo

The full title of Judith D. Schwartz’s book is “Cows Save the Planet: And Other Improbable Ways of Restoring Soil to Heal the Earth” … and of course a sub-sub-title: “Unmaking the deserts, rethinking climate change, bringing back biodiversity, and restoring nutrients to our food.” Well, it’s a complicated topic.

There are pros and cons to how the filmmakers present their Paleo information, as there are with any documentary film. This is especially true when it comes to documentaries about food. I’m sure you’ve watched or at least heard of a dozen or more documentaries promoting veganism or a “plant-based diet”

There are plenty of people out there ready and willing to bash vegans and vegetarians. Ex-vegan Chris Kresser is not one of them. This clip from The Joe Rogan Experience Podcast hits a few of the common questions surrounding what some vegans might be missing from their diet. He states right

This is one of my easiest “go-to” side dishes in my rotation. During the spring when asparagus are in season, asparagus is usually my veggie of choice. I can’t seem to get enough. There’s virtually no pre-time to speak of, and it always tastes great, imho. Adding the cherry tomatoes and

Artichokes (and asparagus) are my favorite spring vegetables. They generally peak between March and May, so try to scoop up as many as possible. They can get a little expensive, but they’re usually a little cheaper during peak season. This recipe is super easy. The artichoke meat is very tender, and
