Latest in Paleo Episode 63: Snake Oil

QUICK DESCRIPTION

Great to be back! I had a lot of fun with this episode, and in it you'll hear me express some skepticism about some of the people and products entering the Paleo scene as it gets larger. Topics covered include: Frankensteer, how fast food is designed to keep you hungry, cattle being fed candy, doctors prescribing drugs to healthy kids, Kennewick Man.  Also, recommendations to a friend with bowel issues. We talk about fake gurus in the Moment of Paleo. In the After the Bell segment, we'll hear about the weight epidemic and what doctors don't always know about the drugs they prescribe.

 

This week's show sponsored by ManGrate and their fantastic $20 summer offer!
