Too Many Morons, Too Little Time: Keri Gans of the American Dietetic Ass
Good Thing it’s Not the Church of Paleo!

Der Spiegel International

I’m going to leave up the original Google "translated" version because 1) it’s pretty funny and, 2) there are funny comments to go with it. Instead, I’ve put a note over there linking to the international version.

Modern Day Flintstones

A Stone Age Subculture Takes Shape in the US

By Philip Bethge

A modern-day Stone Age subculture is developing in the United States, where wannabe cavemen mimic their distant ancestors. They eat lots of meat, bathe in icy water and run around barefoot. Some researchers say people led healthier lives in pre-historic times.

Go have a look.

    Ah, now that we can see a proper idiomatically translated version, the condescension is much clearer.

    I just can’t believe how much press John Durant is getting from this NYTimes article! While I was happy to see him on the Colbert Report (he did look smart and said a good amount of paleo keypoints) I can’t help myself but think that it is widely undeserved for 1 major reason: aside from being a slightly more attractive version of the Geico caveman, he hasn’t done ANYTHING! He has no real website, he didn’t do any research, he didn’t put up a plan… Same with De Vany (Paid subscription!) and Erwan LeCorre (Fitness business!): I couldn’t care less about these guys!

    Can we talk about you or Stephan from the Whole Health Source blogspot or Hyperlipid who are providing people with real, interesting, insightful and free information, please?

      Almost nothing becomes popular in the media unless it’s presented by telegenic people. Paleo/Primal would catch on much quicker if we simply hired a cavalcade of hot young shills to charge their way through the media.

      With no money to be made by anyone, the media would quickly realize stories about eating real food, stopping use of soap and shampoo, and exercising without use of contraptions would kill their advertising income. Maybe the message will go mainstream when journalism is subsidized.

    On a smaller note, Vlad Averbukh (also featured in the NYTimes article) had his picture and a Paleo blurb posted on the San Francisco Chrinicle’s ‘Day In Pictures’ :

    Every little bit helps.

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...]
