Weekend Link Love

If you’re near Kansas City, Kansas, next weekend, we’ve still got open spots for my upcoming PAST session [3]. I’ll be there and would love to meet you!
“Is Sugar Toxic?” Gary Taubes wonders in the NY Times [4]. The question isn’t totally rhetorical, and it’s a great read.
In another Times piece, another author wonders [5] if sitting is a lethal activity. Again, great that it’s appearing on this scale, but totally unsurprising to our readers.
The NY Times really isn’t fooling around. They asked “What’s the Single Best Exercise?” [6] and came back with a varied response: walking, the squat and HIIT. Applause is in order, I think.
Chef Rachel gave an extensive rundown of her experience at PrimalCon on her blog [7]. She’s hoping to be back next year, and we hope to have her (contingent upon that cashew dip coming too, of course).
Primal Toad is running a great deal [8] on his new Primal Smoothie Recipe e-Book. Blending enthusiasts may want to take notice.
The folks over at Perfect Health Diet have been running a great series on HDL. Their latest [9] is on the importance of raising it smartly in a way conducive to good health, rather than blindly without regard for anything but the number.
Recipe Corner
- Lamb doesn’t get nearly enough love. In swoops Primal Palate to rectify the situation [10], along with beets (another underrated food) and spinach.
- The black sheep of chowders, Manhattan clam [11], looks pretty darn delicious after Cheeseslave’s treatment.
Time Capsule
One year ago (April 18 – April 24)
- Primal Play: Dance [12] – Dance like an australopithecine.
- The 80/20 Principle: When 20 Inches Toward 40 [13] – Another look at the ever-popular 80/20 principle, and how it might get out of hand.
Comment of the Week
“Urban Dictionary Word of the Day for April 6 – net lag
A feeling like jetlag that happens after you use your computer after sunset and the bright backlight tricks your body into thinking it’s still daytime.”
- Reader Allison, via email.
