The Hunger Crisis

The crisis of hunger is in fact not a hunger crisis at all. Speaking, of course, completely contextually. Food scarcity, hunger and starvation are sadly still daily realities for far too many humans globally, despite the morally despicable literal throwing away of 50% of available food.

But if you’re here reading this, in your life, your geographic-social-economic circles, there is likely no crisis of hunger. In fact, the crisis is completely the reverse.

The crisis is you are not hungry enough.

Carb Confusion

Diet

If there’s one thing people are most curious about concerning other people’s health habits, it’s food. Nowhere in the health and wellness space are there clearer lines drawn in the sand. I get asked a lot what I eat, and aside from the meat-conception, there is another great misconception. This week alone three separate people have assumed my paleo with a keto lean food regiment means that I do not eat carbs. This is very wrong. I eat a ton of carbs. Of the three major food macros – protein, carbohydrates, fats – I actually probably eat mostly carbs. The carb confusion centers around what carbohydrates one could possibly consume besides the breads and the pastas.

The confusion is that carbs equal wheat.

But there are so many more carbs.
And so many better carb.
Not only better tasting but
far more nutritious and health promoting.

What’s Good For Gaia Is Good For YOU

Diet, Health, Life

Climate change has been front and center over the past several weeks. In my life personally and globally with millions of people in thousands of city having had enough and taken to the streets demanding governments worldwide do something to save humanity (and most other life) from possible extinction.

Yes, extinction.

This is not an extreme exaggeration. Humanity is in a crisis, emergency situation. The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) latest report is clear on the science and on their conclusion- humans must act now or face gruesome, catastrophic consequences. One of these being mass food shortages. Which pertains to our topic –

how climate conscious eating = healthy eating.

Paleo Meatconception

Diet, Health

“So, like, you only eat meat?”

That’s the number one response I receive after I tell someone I eat paleo. That the paleo diet is a meat driven protocol is easily one of the two or three most common misconceptions. I think the name, an abbreviation of Palaeolithic, conjures up images of a caveman chomping down on a massive slab of brontosaurus. There’s also the powerful personal emotional attachment to one’s approach to food, which has ramped up of late as another one of the tribal signalling calls in our much felt yearning for community. Anyway, if you eat paleo, you definitely do eat red-meat, but you eat a whole lot more. Operative word being whole.
