A writer from The Atlantic tries the Paleo diet, feels great on it, loves it, yet still wonders whether it’s “an unhealthy fad.” Be forewarned: life expectancy is mentioned and Atkins parallels are drawn. Some good comments, though, by Melissa and Patrik.
Was this a “special Primal issue”? The Atlantic explains how buying grass-fed beef might just save the bees.

The NY Times asks, “Can a playground be too safe?” Hint: Yes. And it’s actually more dangerous in the long run.

I also have her stand on my foot, holding my hands and kick/swing her in the air and she does a flip in mid air.

We’re both working out, just by playing!
