The Conscientious Omnivore: Witness to a Slaughter

While browsing at the Salt Lake City Farmer’s Market, we met some folks who own a small chicken farm a few towns away.  They seemed to run the kind of farm we look for when sourcing our own food, so we spent some time talking with them about their chickens, their feed, and how they handle their processing.  We told them about what we do, and how we encourage others through our work to make ethically responsible animal protein choices. Towards the end of the conversation, they invited us out to … [Read more...]

Dietary Fundamentalism: A Guest Post by Tovar Cerulli

Note: The following article is a repost from our friend Tovar Cerulli's blog A Mindful Carnivore: Thoughts and stories from a vegan turned hunter. We loved his most recent blog post so much that we asked him if we could share it with our community of readers. While we've expressed some of those same sentiments here and there, it's never been with such insight and eloquence. Tovar is able to get to the true heart of the matter in this post, and in his book The Mindful Carnivore. It's an important … [Read more...]

Eating Meat: A Primer for the Meat Challenged

Author's Note: If you are new to our site, please read the preface to our Conscientious Omnivore series first.

But it’s important for you to know where your Good Food comes from, and to be able to make educated, informed decisions. Our intention isn’t to shock, shame, or bully you—merely to show you what the factory farming system works so hard to keep its customers from knowing. … [Read more...]

Paleo Nutrition for Vegetarians and Vegans

Paleo for Vegetarians Our New York Times bestselling book, It Starts With Food, outlines our full strategy for implementing a “Paleo” framework while still honoring your vegetarian or vegan principles. Sounds like an oxymoron, doesn’t it? Well… it kind of is. But that doesn’t mean our vegetarian friends can’t benefit from the concepts behind our program, while still working within the constructs of their self-imposed dietary restrictions. In this special section of the book, we talk about the … [Read more...]

Conversations with a Vegetarian

In last week's post, we touched on some of the challenges associated with a recent set of workshops – talking “Paleo” principles to both meat-eaters and vegetarians at The Mat Yoga Studio in Richardson, TX.  If you’ve been reading our articles or have done your own Whole30 program, you know exactly why we believe grains, dairy and legumes make you less healthy.  However, as those food groups are often the very foundation of a vegetarian’s diet, relaying that material at a yoga studio doesn’t … [Read more...]
