Don't get me wrong, I'm trying not to judge people too. I just find it incredibly hard to comprehend some things - how can people choose to not care about their health, their future etc. On a conscious level I know that I should respect the

Phrased differently: if you had $10mil, where would you put it? 25% stocks, 25% bonds, 25% gold, 25% cash? (That's literally what the "Fail-Safe Investing" book boils down to. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fail-Safe_Investing )

I think whatever you may learn about well-known peoples' eating habits will be self-reported. It may be beneficial to appear as a vegan or vegetarian, but we'll never know exactly what do celebrities actually eat. Also, as you noted, their

What I dislike a bit about Mark's site is that he's promoting the 'primal' lifestyle and at the same time is selling the supplements. So did Grok (that's how Mark calls the paleolithic human) eat supplements and isn't there a conflict somew
