As of late, I’ve become fully engulfed in nutrition science. No, no, not the silly bullshit the American Medical Association peddles with contributions from the altruistic FDA/USDA. I mean anthropological nutrition, AKA…paleo living.
The first issue to come up in the non-nutrition spectrum was chemicals. Chemicals, chemicals everywhere. Face scrub, shampoo, conditioner, soap, make-up (ok, I haven’t given up my mascara). The first thing that really got me was my son’s baby wash, which had a laundry list of items that I couldn’t identify, let alone pronounce.
Creepy.
On the sideline, in my quest to figure out why aspartame gives me such terrible migraines, I joined the Facebook group for Millions Against Monsanto. Here I was inundated with even more information on why GMO-foods are bad, if not lethal.
And anyone who knows me also knows I’ve been losing weight on a low-carbohydrate diet. The only logical next step is Paleo living.
As stated by almost all Paleo bloggers of note, it’s a guide, not a religion. We aren’t Paleoliths anymore – haven’t been for quite some time – so it’s not reasonable or even feasible to live as they did. But, we can get close and use the information we had on them to, hopefully, live a healthier life than the status quo. The status quo being quite abysmal, as it is.
I’ll still be posting on WordPress, Android/Chrome and the other goodies I’ve rambled about in the past, of course. The Paleo info will just make the site truer to its name. =)
