Food Quickies
It’s nice to see articles like this: End the War on Fat: It could be making us sicker. Slowly but surely, mainstream media is starting to let people know that dietary fat is not the enemy. If Slate can be considered mainstream media.
I’m recapping the short series Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution over at The Disney Blog. (ABC falls under the Disney umbrella.) Two episodes in, four to go. Fingers crossed that Jamie can make some significant changes.
I just got a couple of books from Amazon: New Atkins for a New You and The Primal Blueprint (and yes, those are affiliate links). I’m starting with the Atkins book first. So far, there aren’t a ton of changes from the 2002 New Diet Revolution; it’s mostly some tweaks and hints, as well as guidance on how to do Atkins as a vegetarian or vegan. (Inconceivable!)
This week’s homemade ice cream is maple pecan again. I got some coconut flour, which should hopefully open up new avenues of experimental cooking and baking. We’ll see how I do with this one package before I go balls-out and buy a 4-pack from Amazon. There are recipes galore out there, from using it to bread fish to making muffins and cakes.
I think you will really enjoy The Primal Blueprint. My wife and I read it about 6 months ago, and are now living “primal”(ly). Our health is better than ever before. The author’s blog, marksdailyapple.com is consistently an excellent source of health information. It was such a life-changing book!

I’ve read Mark’s Daily Apple for a while now (and some other paleo/primal blogs as well) and got the book when he recently tried to get the book to #1 on Amazon. (He made it all the way up to #2 in all books.) I’ve already changed some of the ways I eat thanks to the various blogs, and I’m looking forward to reading the book to find other things to tweak.
