This is a joke….right?

A really, really, really bad joke….but still a joke.

How can a kid not know what a tomato looks like?

How can an “adult” think that pre-fab chicken is a healthy food choice?

While watching some of the healthcare debate stuff on the news, I started thinking about:

How the U.S. could save healthcare dollars by spending more on disease prevention / health promotion
How Canadians pay less for pharmaceuticals thanks to public health care

All this deep thinking happened while I was shopping for fish oils, etc at my favorite health food store.
It got me thinking, what if all of the customers in the store got together, pooled all of their purchases and asked for a volume discount?
What would happen?
As individuals, we don’t have the leverage needed to get better prices.
But, what if thousands of us joined together as a group (perhaps an online group) and demanded better prices for our:

Nutritional supplements – vitamins, etc…
Health club memberships
Workout equipment
Workout clothes
Personal training sessions

Would we get a better price?

So, as a little experiment, I have set up a little beta test.
Using a facebook Group, I am asking all […]

Some ‘quick and dirty’ math today.
Here is a hypothetical situation for you…
Your basal metabolic rate is 1,500 calories (Remember, this is just an example I’m not saying that YOUR BMR is exactly 1,500).
If you include your daily exercise, and the costs of eating, your total daily energy Expenditure is 2,200 Calories per day.
So the total amount of calories that you burn in a day is 2,200.
Now in this hypothetical situation, you’ve decided that you want to lose some weight.
You read around on the internet and discover that if you eat 500 less calories per day, the over the course of a week you should lose 1 pound of fat.
So you give it a try.
You count your calories meticulously. With precision that would make NASA engineers jealous.
You know for an absolute FACT that you ate 500 less calories EVERY SINGLE DAY.
But you still didn’t lose weight.
What gives?
Did you slow down your […]

Today, there are a lot of angry healthcare, health insurance and drug company executives.
They’re angry because America’s investment guru, Warren Buffet, the Oracle of Omaha himself, appeared on CNBC yesterday and eviscerated the current American healthcare system.
Without using any of the political rhetoric being thrown around Washington, Buffett noted that:

Out of control health care costs are like a tapeworm eating at our economic body
The current U.S. health care system eats up 17 percent of U.S. gross domestic product, at a time when many other countries pay only nine or 10 percent of GDP but have more doctors, nurses and hospital beds per capita.
While Mr. Buffett said he would support overhaul legislation proposed by the U.S. Senate, he would prefer existing proposals be scrapped in favour of a new one that attacks costs.
“If it was a choice today between Plan A, which is what we’ve got, or Plan B, which is […]

February was a busy month and I didn’t get around to posting much. Since things have cooled down a bit and I need to get back into the habit of writing, I’m gonna kick off this month with an article that touches on a few factors that I believe are important for anyone wanting to maintain a lean appearance at all times of the year.
I’ve never a fan of the bulk and cut approach. An approach often taken to the extreme by some of my peers, with the net result being that they only look decent during the summer months. Simply not my style. Perhaps it’s a consequence of growing up fat. Perhaps it’s because I’m more impressed by feats of great relative strength, for which leanness is critical. I’m not sure. It is what it is, like the saying goes.
Once I cut down to 5.5% bodyfat by late December […]

The following reader email brought to mind a NY Times article I read a few weeks ago. The article discusses a fairly new field of research that is uncovering the surprisingly fundamental and intricate ways our bodies influence our thinking and vice-versa. We’ve discussed the mind-body connection in the past, but embodied cognition puts the relationship in a new cast. Think motion-emotion, action-thought. It’s all integrated in ways you wouldn’t expect….
Hey Mark,
I’ve been a PBer for a couple years now and feel better than I ever have. I’m at this point interested in digging deeper into new areas of the PB. I’m intrigued by the mental-physical connection some of your posts and book refer to. Other than the relaxation and stress influence, what kind of sway does the mind-body thing really hold? How do you suggest harnessing it? Thanks and Grok on!

Thanks to Ben for the question this […]

A few weeks ago, Paleo dude John Durant appeared on the Colbert Report.
Nice interview. Very civilized.
What happened backstage wasn’t.
