It doesn't matter if gluten is bad for you.

Paleo Treats -No Gluten - No Grain

Unless you've been living under a rock, you must have heard how bad gluten is for you. It’s certainly not what most people think: “Our stomachs/bodies were not evolved to eat grains, so we shouldn’t eat them.”  While there may be validity to that argument, it actually doesn’t matter if gluten is bad for you. Here's a practical take on why you shouldn't eat grains or legumes...

A letter from Starbucks

Is the Mermaid Empire really going paleo?  Probably not.  Still, it's fun to dream...  "While the idea may have merit and may even be one we choose to explore, we would likely develop it on our own, if at all...projects developed by Starbucks might seem to others to be similar to their own."  Go ahead, read the full letter to put that into context.

Bone broth & healing your gut

There's a long list of things to do and try on the "healthy life" track, and up near the top next to solid sleep and hard exercise is clean nutrition.

Paleo is simple (it's certainly not low-carb); for 2 meals a day just eat a chunk of protein the size of your palm (could be beef, chicken, fish, emu, etc) and fill the rest of your plate with salad. Wash it down with a couple of cups of water a day and you're set. Right?

It is an excellent start, and really, a fine finish, but if you're looking for some of that extra zip and zazzle, especially as you do more of that hard exercise we mentioned above and your joints start to ache, we're big fans of bone broth.

Paleo Ice Cream: almost an impossibility

A scoop of Paleo ice cream
As you may have guessed by the title, I've been stymied in my search for Paleo ice cream. As with a chocolate chip cookie, and by this I mean a real, no-shit, sugar, butter, fresh-out-of-the-oven gut twisting tongue-gasmic chocolate chip cookie, paleo ice cream may remain an elusive dream for a few more years.

Paleo food list: Banana Bread

Hey-o Paleo homies, have you seen the latest Paleo news here in San Diego?  We thought we'd play around with branching out and provide some resources beyond the easy paleo desserts we sell by creating a paleo food list.  We didn't expect that we'd have a local TV show about eating Paleo pop up on the same day, and to top it off it had our Civilized Caveman friend George on there.  Does it get any better?  :)

Paleo for kids

Kids do a pretty good job of growing up healthy, it's just that adults try and get in the way so damn much.  Let 'em eat their boogers, lick their hands after they touch a shopping cart, drink dirt slurpees and fall off their bikes.  Trust me, they'll be fine. View full article →
