I started out the year with the best of intentions, thinking I was going to do all kinds of prep work before I attempted my weight loss again. Now I think I was just unconsciously stalling. I haven’t even made a doctor’s appointment and I’ve had health insurance since 2010 began. (God that sounds weird. Where the fuck is my flying car, huh?) The month has literally run away from me. Well, and I let it, too.
So, screw it. I start tomorrow (I’m up late again by the way, not early), February 1. I like starting these things at the beginning–month, year, week, doesn’t matter. OK, it’s only the beginning of the week if you’re French, not that Monday doesn’t feel like the start of the week anyway, but you know what I mean. Or not. I don’t really care either way.

Sorry for the uncreative blog post title but I’ve had a couple grievances simmering and it’s about time to take the lid off and share. Today’s snark, brought to you bright and early at almost 3am (I’m up late, not early), comes from the fact that I can’t even read a book to my kid or play a goddamned video game without being bombarded by stupidity.

To understand my ire, it is not enough to look at the front cover. No, we must read the book to our child all unawares, and then stop up short at the following pages.

Why Our Family Eats Animal Products: Part One from Nourishing Days is a breath of fresh air. It’s not often you see someone lay out the reasons they eat animal foods without supplication, mitigation, or apology.
Too bad the textbook Speshul Genotype Vegan had to show up in the comments. (Read more…)
This past year I heard about a study that showed saturated fat helps in calcium absorption. I was trying to explain to a friend just now why low-carbing makes more sense nutritionally than a low-fat diet, and wanted to bring up that point. I couldn’t find anything about saturated fat specifically right off [...]
You’ve probably seen that new Atkins Quick-Start kit advertised all over the internets lately. You give them your name and address and they send you three free bars.
Well, it’s for real. I got mine today.

…and I’m a fatass.
I love having my photo taken. Really.
Well, OK, that’s actually my face. Sorry for the mixup.
I’ve started and abandoned this blog too many times to wanna bother counting. I start in with weight loss, get along at a pretty good clip, then abandon it, just like my [...]
