Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I’m 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy. I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we’ve assumed to be true about health and wellness...

“Please tell me you were joking when you wrote ‘everyday staple foods like whale blubber and Angle fish liver.’?”
– I’m not sure what you’re implying, Jenny. I just took a trip to Costco and now have half a ton of bowhead whale blubber hanging in my curing room and a few boxes of canned angle fish liver (was on sale) in my pantry. About half the folks in checkout had the same in their carts.
I think it’s wonderful that there is a movement to make wearing a tie for men at work optional because of health concerns. But, I must say, Mark, I am very disappointed when you don’t give the same consideration to women who are expected to wear bras to work.
I have commented before about the dangers of constant bra wearing for women and am pretty sure our Paleo sisters did not wear them and I wonder what the rates of breast cancer were for Paleo women. It is well documented that wearing bras can contribute to breast cancer, but women are still expected to wear them and if they don’t, they are ostracized or worse. I have asked you to do a post on this in the past, but after seven years of following your blog (it is actually my screen saver) I have yet to see it.
I thought you might be more enlightened, but once again patriarchy rules.
I have asked repeatedly about this to no response. I don’t feel my post was rude, I was simply making an observation that one article comes out about the dangers of necktie wearing, when there are decades of study about the dangers of wearing bras, and Mark jumps all over the necktie and all I hear about bras are crickets.
I don’t think she was trying to quiet your voice, only point out your request for a post on this (even if you’ve requested in past) could’ve come across in a more polite way. 🙂
I don’t want to quiet your voice because I think you are right that we should talk more about it. The thing is maybe you think you are not rude but I think you are rude and I always get the feeling that if we want to be heard, it’s always a good bet to be polite and not rude.
Ha! At least there are no studies at the moment that correlate bra wearing to decreased brain circulation. It explains a lot about our current political quandaries. All those ties and so little thinking. It’s all starting to make sense.
Not that you should show up naked, but I’m sure if he were to have his own restaurant, the sign would likely not say “Shoes and shirts required.” Bras would likely be optional too. You might have to climb a tree to get there though.
But their is a very good reason for ties at work. Cutting the circulation to the brain preferentially shuts down the frontal cortex, thus reducing scruples. This is good for business.
I remember that it was much easier to lie when wearing a tie.

I agree that no one should be wearing a bra ever but you are not asking really nicely. Mark has made many many posts on issues that affect only women.
Hi Coco,
I have asked repeatedly about this to no response. I don’t feel my post was rude, I was simply making an observation that one article comes out about the dangers of necktie wearing, when there are decades of study about the dangers of wearing bras, and Mark jumps all over the necktie and all I hear about bras are crickets.
Why are you trying to quiet my voice?

It would be fun to see a lot of people’s faces if Trump inadvertently makes the population healthier…
If anything, crashing soybean prices would yield *more* soy inthe local food supply.
If anything, lower soy prices would lead to them being used more in local food supplies.
