The Dairy Manifesto

From Whole9, as a preface to our Manifesto series: As we wrote in It Starts With Food, “We have a theory about food that directly influences the rest of this book. The food that you eat either makes you more healthy or less healthy. Those are your options.” Of course, we spend the rest of the book explaining why a concept that sounds so simple is not that simple at all in practice. That’s why our Good Food recommendations are based on not just one foundation, but a combination of … [Read more...]

The Bacon Manifesto

"Can I have bacon?" is one of the most commonly asked questions from folks doing their first Whole30, so we've decided to add this topic to our series of manifestos. We did have another post on bacon here on the 9 Blog, but in retrospect, we're not really proud of what we wrote there. Our tone was confrontative, and our position was a bit alarmist - and for that we apologize. (We don't always get it right on the first try.) So today, we're tackling the "What about bacon?" question in a more … [Read more...]

The Butter Manifesto

Butter is one of those foods that offends the "Paleo Police" – those who omit foods from their diet based solely on the logic, “Paleolithic man didn’t consume it.”  Yes, from a purely evolutionary perspective, blah, blah, blah.  We get it. But our perspective on food, while built on a solid “genetic heritage” foundation, isn’t really concerned with whether a make-believe Grok would have exhibited a certain behavior or eaten a certain food.  And in the case of butter, we think Grok is (mostly) … [Read more...]

The Coffee Manifesto

To give this article some context, know that we are not here to either glorify or indict coffee.  We would simply like to present a balanced, rational perspective on caffeine consumption, whether it’s sourced from coffee, tea, or (gasp!) those poisonous Monster drinks.  Just because you thoroughly savor a cup of Misha’s Route 66 blend doesn’t mean that experience is automatically a healthy one, so let's explore the subject of coffee and caffeine. Coffee, justified We’ve loved coffee – and its … [Read more...]

The Kiddo Manifesto

or, Why Paleo Grows Awesome Kids We get a lot of questions in our workshops, on the website, and from consulting clients about the benefits of Paleo nutrition for kids of all ages.  Based on our background, education and consulting experience, we are sharing our thoughts on raising happy, healthy kids and providing your children with optimal nutrition.  However, to give you some real-life perspective from real-life parents, we are also going to be publishing a succession of articles that … [Read more...]
