The Paleo Diet Main Event: Harris Vs. Matesz
Apparently, Dr. Kurt Harris of the “Archevore” blog, has become a little annoyed with the recent chain of inconsistent information that has been streaming from Don Matesz of the “Primal Wisdom” blog.

Paleo Diet News: ‘Good Calories, Bad Calories’ Redux
Gary Taubes‘ book ‘Good Calories, Bad Calories’ has been on my reading list for some time, but I must confess it keeps getting superseded by other - shorter! - books I’m interested in reading.

Perhaps surprisingly, I realized that I had found my way via 1990s low-fat fitness star Susan Powter, who recommended the work of the herbalist Susun Weed, who led me to the work of Sally Fallon and [...]
Best Gift for the Paleo diet: Rebounders or Mini-trampolines
A Paleo diet home gym does not need to be complicated. There are a few pieces of equipment needed for an effective workout.

Paleo Diet vs. Traditional Diet
What is the opposite of a fan? Perhaps antagonist? Well there is yet another antagonist to the Paleo diet, Manuel Villacorta. He has looked at the Paleo diet and doesn’t like what he sees.
