I found an interesting Russ Roberts podcast with Art DeVany. The first 25 minutes is about baseball and steroids, and while I’m not a baseball nut, I still found DeVany’s ideas quite interesting.
The rest of it is about evolutionary diets and fitness. It’s definitely worth hearing, no matter which thing you’re interested in.

The Whole9 folks are doing another Pure Paleo 30-day challenge. You’ll find an explanation of it here, and if you’re looking to cut the crap out of your diet, there’s a lot of support available.
The “Tough Love” section applies to ANY dietary changes you want to make. The whole article is absolutely worth [...]
Well, I didn’t get my actual menu items up, and it’s not going to happen before I go hiking. Work has been taking up my time that I would normally use for blogging. We all have to work some time!
Anyway, I’m not sure what the legality of this is, honestly, but this magazine [...]
After the yelling fest that happened at Free The Animal over white potatoes, I’m really hesitant to even refer to my diet as “Paleo-ish”. If there’s a nice, tidy word for not eating grains and legumes, I’m that. I suppose primal would cut it. At the moment, I’m not eating white potatoes [...]
In another post, a commenter said they were having a hard time figuring out what people following Paleo or Primal diet were actually eating on a day to day basis. They also expressed interest in what I was going to eat while backpacking, and I will get to that in a moment.
Since I see [...]
There’s nothing inherently wrong with Intermittent Fasting. I certainly see how it fits into the whole idea of eating as we evolved to eat, and that probably isn’t five (or six, in some cases) meals a day. Skipping meals seems to work for people when it comes to a leaning out stage where, [...]
I’m not a pure paleo, nor will I ever be one. I just want to eat real food, and I’ve found that mostly sticking to paleolithic foods helps me feel better and control my weight. In the last couple of weeks, I’ve been adhering more closely than I have for a while, but [...]
This time, I’m launching right in so I don’t get distracted. Part one is here.
Once you’ve gone low-carb for a long time, whether you’re paleo or not, it’s hard to go back without gaining weight. Many people who’ve been on a low-carb diet for a long time claim that they gain from consuming [...]
A lot of people talking about primal and paleo diets are really hatin’ on fruit and are big believers in long-term ketogenic diets. Fruit (except for berries and usually tomatoes) is criticized as being just being “candy from a tree” or a fructose bomb. Some folks also lump all root vegetables (yams, rutabaga, [...]
I’ve been seeing reasoned debate about the effect of long-term low-carb diets for a while now, but this last week, things kind of exploded into a yelling fest.
Within what I can only describe a mean-spirited and pointlessly rude blog post from Matt Stone, there’s one interesting nugget of possible truth:
“…remember that prolonged dieting (this one, [...]
