Sunday Rock for the Countrys

February 28, 2010

Well, I saw Crazy Heart yesterday and was left a bit wanting. I dunno. I like the title track enough — got it in the library now — but I could just think of so many western ballads that are so much better. Plus, Jeffie boy just couldn’t muster that much sympathy with me. Glad…

Sunday Links & Food Porn

February 28, 2010

~ You’ll recall John Durant’s performance on The Colbert Report, but did you see the backstage showdown with a vegan? ~ Many were appalled at the state of school lunches highlighted in my post of a couple of days ago. Could the sorry state of school lunches be what’s partially behind something like this: The…

In Macleans.Ca: Cavemen who walk among us

February 27, 2010

Well I think this is the best of the lot, so far. While I don’t like the "cavemen" moniker at all and still some aspects seem goofy or obsessed in the way they’re portrayed, the article greatly makes up for that by touching of the science from a number of sources and also the author,…

It’s The Crap; Just Eat Real Food

February 26, 2010

From my post yesterday at the never-ending Amazon discussion forum focussing just now on The China Study author, Dr. T. Colin Campbell, and his insistence that we need to at least try his no-added-fat plant-based diet. …Never tried it, and I stated so long ago, back around the last time these discussions heated up. And…

Let’s Get It Started Assemblyman Anthony Portantino

February 25, 2010

Hey, Anthony: Go Fuck Yourself. And take that Sacramento Band of Fuckwads right along with you. Californians had better start watching their mouths. Try me, asshole. And as for that petty, prudish, insolent little shit, McKay Hatch, well, a good ass-paddling before sending him off to bed without any dinner seems about right. …But I’m…

The Stupidest Thing I’ve Read Today

February 25, 2010

Well, other than T. Colin Campbell’s response to my post of yesterday, recommending a vegan diet to…"prevent erectile dysfunction," that is. I’m working up something kinda unique and creative in response to that and if it works out, should be amusing. Oh, wow, just in. Even more material. Two readers sent me links to this…

The China Study and T. Colin Campbell on Amazon’s Low-Carb Forum

February 24, 2010

I’m going to address a couple of potential questions or objections right off the bat, hopefully avoiding taking up time & space in comments. 1) Seeing as I was taken to task by a couple of people for my “disrespectful” words toward Dr. Campbell here, is this going to be more of the same? Answer:…

Simple: Filet & Veggies

February 23, 2010

This sort of thing is probably my favorite meal. This time, I pan fried the filets in cast iron with ghee. Brown all over, then cover for a couple of minutes per side, then keep turning & browning until your desired doneness is reached. These thick ones take a while, but they’re also pretty forgiving….

Exposing the Cholesterol Con

February 22, 2010

[Just a quick off-topic aside. Darya Pino at Summer Tomato did a mildly critical but fair & balanced post on paleo dieting. Go take a look and drop a comment about your own experience if it suits you. From my perspective, we out to be able to take fair criticism to refine & strengthen our…

The Paleo, Primal, Evolutionary Distinction: Avoidance Behavior

February 21, 2010

Right off the bat I have to thank Dr. kurt harris for alerting me to this simple — and therefore — elegant and powerful idea. What do all diets have in common and is that which also serves to differentiate all of them from paleo, primal, evfit? Whether you’re low fat, low carb, Mediterranean, South…

Is Paleo Literal, or Mythology?

February 20, 2010

You don’t have to believe in Santa to enjoy Christmas A couple of weeks back, one of my posts hit Lyle McDonald’s Monkey Island Forum ("The Mean Forum"). Unless you have a thick skin, you "paleotards" probably want to avoid getting involved — though it has pretty much died out by now. Lyle asked some questions…

More Stress Than Being Chased by a Tiger

February 19, 2010

Did you see that? Well, I have mixed feelings about Tiger, the golfer. As a guy who held off marriage until I was 40 — precisely because I never wanted any shame and wasn’t sure I could prevent it — I didn’t trust myself — he did do the deal and so my sympathy is…

Out & About On The Interwebs: Science Based? Weston Price; Smart Patients; Fasting vs. Cancer; Alcoholics for Agriculture; and ex-Vegan Lierre Keith

February 19, 2010

~ Well this is pretty much a disaster over at Science Based Medicine, courtesy of a seemingly confused Amy Tuteur, MD. "Longing for a past that never existed" There once was a time when all food was organic and no pesticides were used. Health problems were treated with folk wisdom and natural remedies. There was…

Human Hunger: It’s Trying To Kill You

February 19, 2010

It’s quite interesting when I get a comment on an old post (root post). Usually, and especially if someone has a disagreement, I’ll just deal with it in comments. But this commenter is a family doc and he raises an interesting quibble. First off, let me say bravo for a pretty good health info website. Let…

Panties in a Bunch “Paloes”

February 19, 2010

I gave it a shot. Toning it down. It’s just not gonna work for me, folks. I’m going to have to be myself. That doesn’t mean a "Fuck You" in every post, but just the self-imposed exile has taken a toll. Judging by these collectivist panties-in-a-bunch "paleo" fans, I’m completely attracting the wrong kinds of…

Two Gross Human Skeletons Lecture You on Nutrition

February 18, 2010

Here’s how you could look in your late 60s & 70s; with a bit of attention, especially good animal protein intake, resistance training, and if need be (as in the case of Dr. Life) some bioidentical testosterone and HgH ($$$: Scott Miller: what does it cost?). You could look like Art, at 72. He’ll tell…

Quick ’cause I’ve got to hit the road in a minute. Last night’s most amazind dinner at Joe’s at Ceasar’s Palace. Filet & Stone Crab Best meal I have had in a long time. OK, I’m headed to see Carlos over at "The Joint" at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. Here’s another "guy" I’ve…

Would Someone Shut This Asshole Up? T. Colin Campbell

February 15, 2010

Short of the ass assuming room temperature (hurry, please), I’m on a bit of holiday, would love to do it myself, but is anyone else willing, with some time? On the Amazon forum. ’bout time: I agree with Margaret. There are excellent publications showing that a high protein diet (trending to a low carbohydrate diet)…

Sunday Rock & Reminiscing

February 14, 2010

How did I get into this deal? It’s funny because, when people ask me how I got into the business I do, and have been since 1993,  I don’t have a definitive answer. I originally wanted to be a Navy jet pilot, ended up driving Navy ships instead, got lots of experience managing lots of…

Odds & Ends, Links & Have It Your Way

February 13, 2010

We’re headed off to SoCal shortly to pick up some family, drop off the dogs with other family, and then head on over to Las Vegas for a few days. Reno is my hometown so I’m not really much into the gambling scene, although I finally played some poker on a cruise ship last June,…

Real Results: Dad

February 12, 2010

I put up a couple of posts last year about my mom’s improvement (here and here) on paleo. In short, in addition to weight loss, getting off other meds and other improvements, she got off insulin injections. Now it’s dad’s turn. He’s racked up a lot of weight loss and works out regularly. He’s using…

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...]
