Saving Bees with the Paleo Diet

‘Conscientious Carnivores’ and the Paleo Diet

The Paleo Diet and Grass-fed beef Meets Aerospace
Somewhere in Illinois, cattle peacefully graze on tall green grass on a prairie, not suspecting that a short distance away is a workshop where the design and fabrication of high tech aerospace components is going on.

Food Safety for the Paleo Diet
In the wake of the deaths of 31 people in Europe due to a possibly bioengineered strain of E. coli found on cucumbers from Spain, questions have been raised about the safety of our food supply in the U.S. on many different levels, including the over use of antibiotics.
