Back in 1996 (I’m giving away how old I am again), I was at a friend’s house watching the opening ceremony of the Olympic games. At some point during the night, one of her vixen girlfriends tricked me into eating a hot pepper. Since I was always willing to show off (read: make a foolContinue reading “Good Habits #11 – How to Obtain Good Health By Setting Your Brain On Fire”

Bad Habits #10 – Cursed Carnal Confections of Corruption And Calamity
I think one reason I was able to continue losing weight during the time when the country was at the mercy of the Creeping Doom From Wuhan was because the temptations of the office were not available to me. I realize that seems like an incoherent thing to say. How could there be more temptationsContinue reading “Bad Habits #10 – Cursed Carnal Confections of Corruption And Calamity”
Good Habits #10 – These Are The Things That Try Ketovore’s Souls
In my efforts to expand my knowledge of all things dietary in my pursuit of godlike abs and immortal levels of immunity, I follow a lot of health nuts on social media. This includes the “normie” doctor types who do weird stuff like…tweet health information that’s backed up by years of empirical data. But IContinue reading “Good Habits #10 – These Are The Things That Try Ketovore’s Souls”
Bad Habits #9 – Why Are You Eating That Compost Pile?
I’m about to commit heresy against the kind and compassionate vegetable eaters of the world. The eaters of plants who insist that theirs is the One True Diet who endlessly shower the Internet with evidence of their latest #crueltyfree meal. By that I mean vegetarians. And their somewhat more orthodox and fundamentalist cousins, the vegans. Continue reading “Bad Habits #9 – Why Are You Eating That Compost Pile?”
Good Habits #9 – Risking Disaster in the Kitchen Can Help You Lose Weight
I mentioned a while back that when I was a bachelor, I ate crap. As a result, the five miles a day I was running was completely cancelled out by the garbage I was wolfing down. Sometimes it was a tendency to binge on potato chips and ice cream. Sometimes it was my tendency toContinue reading “Good Habits #9 – Risking Disaster in the Kitchen Can Help You Lose Weight”
Bad Habits #8 – Blobs On the Bayou: Why Louisiana is So Obese
When I wrote a piece on why my home state of Georgia is obese, I looked at a map of the country showing each state’s relative obesity. There’s a big blob of obesity (bad pun intended) in the South and Midwest. Including the state where some of my favorite cuisine is made, Louisiana. Louisianans areContinue reading “Bad Habits #8 – Blobs On the Bayou: Why Louisiana is So Obese”
Good Habits #8 – Wild Things And Things That Probably Shouldn’t Be Food Can Actually Be Good For You
Years ago, when my father was still in the army, we lived in Europe for three years. Occasionally, we’d have to travel around for him to go to this meeting or that meeting. This probably started me on my journey to becoming a hardcore foodie. We’d eat out in Germany, Austria, France, Belgium, the Netherlands,Continue reading “Good Habits #8 – Wild Things And Things That Probably Shouldn’t Be Food Can Actually Be Good For You”
The Details Behind The Diabolical Diabetes Conspiracy Being Orchestrated By The Girl Scouts Of America
It’s that time of year where young girls tempt the American public. Okay, that sounds weirdly pedo. I’m talking about the Girl Scouts tempting us. No, that still sounds pedo. I’m talking about Girl Scouts tempting us with sugar and spice and everything nice. Cookies, I mean. I’m not talking about anything salacious. Get yourContinue reading “The Details Behind The Diabolical Diabetes Conspiracy Being Orchestrated By The Girl Scouts Of America”
Bad Habits #7 – Offal is Awful
When I was growing up, my mother would make a rather strange form of gravy at Thanksgiving, with chewy mushy bits of what appeared to be meat in it. Except that it didn’t taste like normal meat. Because it was kind of gross. I was informed that these were “giblets”. Then I was informed whatContinue reading “Bad Habits #7 – Offal is Awful”
America’s Added Fat Comes From Added Fat
I saw recently that the total number of obese people in the U.S. was approaching forty percent. And if we include the number of overweight people, it jumps to seventy percent. We’ve got some fatties in the U.S. Of course, it’s mean to say “fatty” I guess (although I used to be one, so IContinue reading “America’s Added Fat Comes From Added Fat”
