A public service announcement for sellers of stevia

Dear stevia sellers:

If you are jealous of the success that sucralose (Splenda) has enjoyed in the marketplace, and want a piece of the action yourself, here are a few hints for you:

1. Make your crap taste better. It’s nasty, 99 percent of the time.

2. Make it cheaper. It’s ridiculously expensive. For [...]

Oh, right, one of *those.*

I think (not sure) I’ve gotten to the point where I can let most of this stuff roll off my back and not give a shit, and that’s pretty much where I am about this instance, but I feel a little bit like making an example out of somebody, so I guess I am [...]

Fun new Facebook group is fun

So, like, I was hanging out at the Post Carbon Institute’s Facebook fan page? And they started talking about how it’s a good idea to go vegan to save water? And I’m like “there is no carbon in water dumbass”?* And I finally got fed up with all the liberal=vegan mental math** going on? [...]

Wednesday weigh-in: 241.0

248.5 | 241 | 140

Someone, I have no idea who, has bought one of my t-shirts recently. Pretty trippy. I haven’t sold something on Cafe Press in years. I’m a little intimidated now, though, for a couple of reasons:

1. This means I should get my ass in gear, doesn’t it. O_O [...]

A special request for Stamp Out Hunger Day

Today is the National Association of Letter Carriers’ annual Stamp Out Hunger Day.

I have noticed in my clicking around the lowcarbblogosphere that lots of low-carbers make a clean break when they adopt a LC diet, including the cleaning out of the pantry and the donating of carby foods to food banks or similar. [...]

Whaddya know… there *are* awesome people out there

So, the dude who emailed me yesterday was Zachary of The Paleo Garden, and he’s actually a huge sweetie and I feel awful now that I got all het up about the email. Here is a whole mess of violets for ya, dude, and keep talking.

(You should see my yard. The Violet [...]

How to communicate with me and not be killfiled/ Followup to yesterday's post

Someone emailed me about my KFC post. I know who it was, but I won’t name names just yet ’cause I don’t know what he was getting at, for reasons I’ll get into in a minute. Just, here’s a wild violet for ya, dude…

Here. Have a flower. Now shaddup.

Just kidding. Kinda. (By the way I did not take that photo for this post, it was just something I happened across in looking for one, ’cause I like to include pictures with my blog posts most of the time. I think it looks cool.) Seriously though, he was a Paleo blogger, so just in case someone out there’s on the defensive, let me clear up a few things.

New CafePress store

My little girl’s dad said something in this vein the other night that got my mental gears a-turnin’. I’m fatigued from the brouhaha around the attack on Lierre Keith and all the hype about the ecological virtues of veganism and the solution to poverty and hunger being the eating of five servings of [...]

You should lose the fat in your head too

Can someone out there please explain to me what the hell it is with low-carb bloggers and global warming? I’ve been seeing this all over the place for the past year or so. Apparently, because The Establishment is wrong about healthy diets, it is also wrong about climate change, and furthermore anyone in [...]

The new Atkins Quick-Start kit

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.

I’m not sure how much use I will [...]
