He is the founder of the Whole Life Buying club and co-founder with Joel Salatin of the Rogue Food … Continue reading →

Today I want to talk to you about low carb living and low carb dieting, and how the two are different things. The recipes today are really mostly for a low carb diet.

The problem we have in America is diet is generally only used to describe what we do to lose … Continue reading →

Today I was thinking about a lot of things. One was a friend a very close friend dealing with a major life transition. That got me thinking to many of my own transitions.

Have you ever heard the phrase, “the lowest common denominator”. While this is an actual mathematical principle it has also become a colloquialism meaning to cater to the lowest preforming member of a given group. Today that group is the people of the United States and the performance metrics are basic intelligence, critical thinking and the ability to use logic and reason. In essence a better title for this show may be “lowering the common denominator” with the sub title of “the dumbing down of America”, but I simply feel dropping the denominator sounds better and requires more thought, and … Continue reading →
