You get more than just protein from beef. Grass-fed beef, and ruminants in general, contain a wealth of human nutrition. It's not the product, is the producer. The perverse incentives in our meat and farming industries drive production of a

Awareness seems to be spreading about the negative health implications of our factory-food system as a whole. It's possible that demand will shift. Capitalism will adapt.

The iPad was a true innovation when it was released and even more so 3 months prior to its release. To be able to experience a new invention so far before everyone else on that planet is a special experience. At least, I'd see it that way w

And many of the animals humans eat are not . They are treated well, given ample amounts of the types of food their species was intended to eat, and slaughtered respectfully. Instead of simply opting out of the horrendous conditions you don

Right, let me go do that. While I'm at it I'll make sure everyone who Googles "healthy diet" or for that matter "republican", all come away learning exactly the same meanings for those terms. My point in the above post was: Zuk is positioni

Zuk is attacking a straw man here. Thinking about our diets from an evolutionary perspective gives us a framework in which to form educated hypotheses. The way an intelligent person applies paleo-based thinking is by forming theories, not b

You're 100% wrong. Here is a very recent study and write up: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22825366 http://celiacdisease.about.com/od/glutenintolerance/a/Gluten... And here is a well-cited summary of the facts: Symptoms of gluten s

Prior to understanding gluten intolerance, many people would just struggle through life with low-grade malaise that they felt was normal. Loose stool, constipation, low energy, poor metabolism, malnourishment, cloudy headedness. These probl

Your comment is offensive. Many people who are not Celiacs experience deleterious effects as a result of gluten consumption none the less. It's called gluten intolerance. Awareness of how gluten can be the underlying cause of many subtle an
