Feelin’ Alright, Paleo Style

January 29, 2010

Now how damn long do you think I had to search to bring this to you cavemen & cavewomen? Hah! I’m proud of at this point. If you check out some of their other UTube selections, you’ll see they perform shirtless often. And even rock stars today are lean. (Can you be a fat Rock…

What a Month, Week, Day

January 29, 2010

And none of it would be possible without the great readers of this blog. It sounds almost trite to say it — ’cause everyone always says it — but it’s true and it must be acknowledged. I’m gonna take the rest of the day off, as it’s my 49th today, and I’ve already gotten an…

The Latest News in Modern Ignorance: Switch to Low-Fat Milk Lowers Calories for NYC Schoolkids

January 28, 2010

Let’s get this right out of the way: Mayor Michael Bloomberg is a menace to society. He’s also an ignoramus who listens only to conventional "wisdom" ("Modern Ignorance") from "health authorities" on the take, being propped up by drug companies and synthetic-industrial "food" manufacturers. Then there’s the lazies who man the New York City Department of…

Rack of Lamb Sous Vide

January 28, 2010

First off, for those of you who don’t have a Sous Vide and aren’t getting one soon, here’s a previous post with rack of lamb made in a traditional way. Rack of lamb done properly is perhaps my favorite food. And making it in the Sous Vide Supreme was just to die for. Easily my…

Trouble in Raw Vegan Paradise?

January 27, 2010

Well, my Google alert for vitamin K2 — of all things — turned up this interesting blog post at The Fresh Network Blog. Why the shift away from veganism in the raw world? As you may already have noticed, a big change has taken place in the raw food world, and this change is ongoing….

Dog Pile: Join the Fun

January 26, 2010

 At "Livestrong." The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cite high LDL cholesterol as one of the risk factors for heart disease, which is the leading cause of death in the United States. Even with these startling facts, Americans still can’t seem to shake high-cholesterol foods from their diet. Instead of trying to cut out…

Quick Update

January 26, 2010

So in order to really get this book project off the ground, I’m using a cool application called Scrivener. Now while the book is not at all going to be just the blogs I’ve written, a lot of them are useful — posts and comments — and so I’m pulling them into the app one…

Halibut – For The Helluvit – Sous Vide

January 25, 2010

So on the OEvolve list (note: As I’m a human-animal anarchist, I’m only a lurker there, per the membership guidelines) one person had posted an experience with halibut sous vide; Diana, list owner, tried and liked, and so I embarked this afternoon to collect suitable halibut. Click to see the big’n. Halibut Steak Sous Vide…

Getting Crazier and Crazier

January 25, 2010

Admin note: Well, according to Sitemeter and Google Analytics, I broke 100,000 visits for the month of January and 200,000 page views, a huge all-time record buster. That was sometime in the wee hours of last night. Onward & Upward, I suppose. I’m now working on my book in earnest and have committed myself to…

Conform Or Be Cast Out!

January 24, 2010

Doesn’t matter if you’re low-carb, paleo, or somewhere in between. You’re weird! You’re a geek! Don’t you understand that unlike all other animals, humans dropped out of the sky a few thousand years ago and operate on principles totally foreign to wild animals; such as unlike the folks who work in the feeding units of…

Three Must-Hear Podcasts: Real Farming, Cancer, & Statins

January 24, 2010

Friday a bit before noon, I headed out solo on a road trip from San Jose, CA, over Donner Summit to my hometown of Reno, NV for an evening with an uncle and one of my cousins. Then I returned Saturday in time to make a party in the Marina district of San Francisco. Lots…

Look Kids: An Alphabet With Newly Discovered Brains!

January 21, 2010

An "Alphabet" is the generic term I use to denote institutions that come with an acronym; in this case, the AAP — American Academy of Pediatrics — and specifically, their Committee on Nutrition. In an article in Pediatric News, Rice Cereal Can Wait, Let Them Eat Meat First: AAP committee has changes in mind… There is no…

Chicken, Mashed Potatoes & Gravy (and how bad are carbs?)

January 20, 2010

Below I’m going to discuss the role of carbohydrate in the diet; and what better way to kick it off than with some food porn? This is a dish I named "LSD Chicken." Here’s how you make it, along with a discussion of why I named it that. Briefly, it’s the recipe of Owsley "The…

Saturated Fat and Coronary Heart Disease, Part V: The “Science”

January 19, 2010

Before I begin, I’ll simply point you to part one of the series and you’ll find the links to all the other parts there. So it’s time to discuss the "science" behind the idea that saturated fat intake leads to heart disease. Let’s begin with pure observational epidemiology and then move on to the more…

Shyam Kolvekar: The Most Stupidest Man in The World

January 18, 2010

Here’s an idea. How about the butter trade groups get together and create a new ad campaign featuring this heart surgeon dingbat. They could style it after the fabulous "Most Interesting Man in The World" Dos Equis commercials. Hell, they wouldn’t even have to create any new dialog to get started right way. It could…

Extensive Notes on Good Calories, Bad Calories

January 18, 2010

Toban Wiebe at Higher Thought has put together an excellent resource. Gary Taubes’s masterpiece—Good Calories, Bad Calories—is the most important book ever written on diet and health. Drawing from an astounding body of research, Taubes challenges the conventional wisdom head on and decisively wins (the book is perhaps overkill.) He shows that carbohydrates are the…

A Sultan of Swing commits Crime of the Century

January 17, 2010

A clever tile for my next rock installment, if I do say so. You all know Sultans of Swing, but I’m going to abbreviate it, just the Mark Knopfler solo at the end. Always loved it, and this one’s special. And so naturally, you have already guessed my next and final selection. Supertramp, Crime of…

The Hidden Benefit of the SAD: Iodine?

January 16, 2010

(SAD = Standard American Diet) This is merely a preliminary weekend blurb and I’ll have much more to write later. Since my very well-received post on Paleo Problems the other day, I’ve had some interesting reports, mostly from women who’ve been doing their own n=1 self experimentation with iodine (Iodoral can be purchased from Amazon…

Filet Sous Vide; Sauce Blue Cheese & Celery Root Puree

January 16, 2010

I don’t know how I missed posting this one. This was a dinner I prepared for six people, sous vide, the night before leaving town for the holidays. Sous vide makes cooking for a dinner party so much easier. I did the standard 134 degrees for about 1 1/2 hours, I think, as these were…

A Rock Roundabout – They Don’t Make It Like They Used To

January 15, 2010

This is way overboard. You’ve been warned. There’s a sly reference in the title. It’s a reference that’s absent in the musical selections. First one to name it in comments gets my applause — clap clap. I do spend a lot of time on these. I have to view numerous YouTubes to find just the…

Of Wild Animals & Hygiene

January 14, 2010

Here’s a draft of a paid article just submitted to a print magazine with a snail mail circulation of a bit over 40,000. Don’t know how it will come out in the final publishing, and it also has an email distribution, so could give things a boost. Wow, I never imagined that No-Soap post would…

About FreeTheAnimal

I'm Richard Nikoley. Free The Animal began in 2003 and as of 2020, has 5,000 posts and 120,000 comments from readers. I blog what I wish...from lifestyle to philosophy, politics, social antagonism, adventure travel, nomad living, location and time independent—"while you sleep"— income, and food. I intended to travel the world "homeless" but the Covid-19 panic-demic squashed that. I've become an American expat living in rural Thailand where I've built a home. I celebrate the audacity and hubris to live by your own exclusive authority and take your own chances. [Read more...]
