Healthy Boobs, Hearts, and Brains

I am going to tell you something that few people understand. There is no human nutritional need for the flesh or fluids of animals. By flesh I mean meat: cow, pig, chicken, fish, goat, sheep, rabbit, or even frog bodies. By fluids I mean dairy and eggs. By dairy I mean milk, cream, butter, sour […]

Consume Only Safe Cinnamon

I learned a nutrition fact recently at an informative local Palmetto Plant Eaters Club meeting that changed my morning routine. Since purchasing an Instant Pot, most mornings I make and consume oat groats for breakfast. Typically I will top the groats with strawberries or apples (often organic Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) and a thorough – and […]

Carbs Are Bad = Math Is Hard

Thumbnail image for Carbs Are Bad = Math Is Hard

Saying that all carbs are bad is akin to saying that all math is hard. It can be true, it can be false. It can be both. 1 + 1 = 2 is fairly easy math, unless you’re an infant or toddler. The math above is undeniably more difficult, but it may be easy to […]

It’s clear to me that those who are in pursuit of life, liberty, happiness, and wellness need to declare health independence from the corporatized disease-care system partially or completely. As with many American institutions, profit has become the focus at the expense of true health freedom. Healthy people are bad for business (they don’t need […]

The SAD versus The SVD

Thumbnail image for The SAD versus The SVD

Once upon a time the average person didn’t need to know too much about nutrition. They ate food because that’s what was available. Since then food science has taken a turn into the obscure with artificial, super-refined, and processed sweeteners, colors, flavors, and fillers which have created food-like edibles in place of real food.

For the Love of Nori

Who is Nori? Is she a friend of yours? Nope, nori is seaweed and I am eating it daily. You will probably best know nori for the seaweed paper that is used when making sushi rolls. Each sheet is approximately 8×8 inches, very thin and transparent, and perfectly crunchy in a delicate way. The green […]
