Jack Kruse and the Paleo Train Wreck

05/08/2012 by PaleoPeriodical 9 Comments

Oh, the Paleosphere just got really entertaining. If you’re blissfully ignorant of all the ins and outs of Who’s-Who in the Paleo world, then feel free to ignore this post. I kinda wish I could. In short, Jimmy Moore’s Livin’ La Vida Low Carb annual love boat was scheduled to take off from Galveston, TX […]

1. The NYTimes discovers the beauty of the frittata (see my recipe this week here). They include a recipe in the article and four others in the sidebar.

Forgive me for coming late to this one. The LA Times published this in December, but I wanted to link to it because it’s one of the most concise and matter-of-fact summaries of the low-carb movement I’ve seen.

In case you missed it, Paleo godfather Art De Vany and The Paleo Solution’s Robb Wolf were featured on ABC’s Nightline last week.
