Hot Ex-Vegans; Donal O'Neill Can Turn a Phrase

If you read Fathead, you've heard of exvegans.com and the documentary Cereal Killers. But if you didn't follow the links, you've missed out on some great stuff.

Want some eye candy or a good laugh? You must check out www.exvegans.com. The site is a directory of "ex-vegans" and "vegan sell-outs" that names names gives the cities, descriptions and photographs of vegan apostates.

Where can I meet one of these ex-vegan guys? Most of them look like magazine models and sound more interesting than dating site bios that try to sound interesting. Raw Brahs, San Diego: "Pretty boys who make videos famous-for-being-famous but not much more." Sean Dunaway, Las Vegas: "Originator of 30 bananas a day sucks.   Was vegan and 'got too skinny' so is now a meat-eater and body builder.  This guy plays favorites on the forum and takes sides.  He is  very cruel how he socially manipulates the forum and you get a sick feeling around him .  He encourages no judgement but then is the most judgmental and nepotistic tyrant there.  Carnal, cruel, cunning, status-climbing, hitting on women.  A convicted hacker and felon.  If he was gentle as a vegan what could have possibly happened since then?" Ah, there's something about a good boy who's gone bad.

The site is so earnest that it makes me wonder if it's really a joke. "Now eats pure murder," it says of Chris Kresser. Athlete Devon Crosby Helms must be a liar or a malingerer: "She also claimed a long list of bogus health ailments. Maybe these ex-vegans should keep it realistic and keep it to one or two ailments." The webmaster even outed her roommate: "Found her on Craigslist and when looking for a STRICT vegan roommate. Seven months later she started eating meat again and leaving dead corpses in the fridge even though we AGREED to have a totally animal-product free household." Emphasis in original.

EDITED TO ADD: New entry: "Sheryl was one of my best fiends from college and we shared our beliefs about food and animal rights. Whe she married her husband Ricardo Busatamante she began to eat seafood and even meat in occasions. I just want to sell her out for preferring her husband over me and changing a healthy lifestyle for one where the murdering of poor animals is acceptable." OK, this site has to be a joke--and it's hilarious and brilliant. People have been ostracized and even threatened for leaving the Holy Church of Veganism, and this site can, I hope, make them laugh and reach out to others like themselves.


*****

Donal O'Neill, marketer, former athlete and now a filmmaker, has one of the best-written low-carb blogs I've seen: LetFatBeThyMedicine.com. Some lines from his posts: "Wasn’t Ancel Keys a member of Guns n Roses?"  "I started spending hours in the Pub. Pubmed that is." "Humble apologies mother. You were right after all." "The benefits of exercise are wide, varied and certainly compelling, but over time you simply cannot outperform a poor diet." "Avoidance of illness is your job. You get to listen to whomever you want and try anything you care to. But know this – YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN." If you want to help get the word out about the documentary, you can help fund it at Kickstarter.com.

30-second Fix for a Cracked Stick Blender

Use Mighty Fixit (if you still have some from 2012) or Rescue Tape (which looks like a similar product) to fix a cracked stick blender. After I fixed the attachment, I washed it in the sink and the tape held up. I also wrapped a knife handle several years ago, and it's been through thousands of washings.

Holiday Dinner Tip from Restaurant Pros: Limit the Menu

After watching some people online getting freaked out about trying to put on holiday dinners and getting overwhelmed to the point that they're thinking about canceling the whole thing, I thought I'd put out a restaurant tip that will help people put on a dinner with less aggravation. A big complaint among the frustrated home cooks I've seen is that family members are not contributing to the dinner. But a bigger problem I see is that their menu is just too big. One lady's family is having her make 12 dishes all by herself, and some of these dishes look pretty complicated. Watch the video here or read on. The reason this is aggravating is that more dishes mean more shopping, more prep, and more cleanup. It's hard to make several dishes that will all be ready at the same time. Even though I used to be a prep cook at a restaurant, I've put on Thanksgiving dinners myself, and I cook from scratch almost every day, there's no way I'd try to make a 12-course di...

Moving on to YouTube

Remember when the blogosphere was a wild ride? Doctors, writers and researchers dove into research, picked apart studies and stood up to official advice and conventional wisdom that didn't work. We found each other in the comments and made a community.  Along the way, Dr. T. Colin Campbell's research got exposed as shoddy by an English major, Tom Naughton made us laugh, "safe starch" fads made us scratch our heads, "Diabetes Warrior" Steve Cooksey almost went to jail, CarbSane trolled everyone who was anyone, and CarbSaneR trolled the troll.  Now it's very quiet. Blogs don't come up in Google search results anymore and even if they did, most of the bloggers have stopped writing.  That's why I've moved on to YouTube. Videos do come up in search results and my shorts--which are mostly what I make--get pushed out to hundreds of people or more. My videos are on food and health (biohacking), but also on growing things and fixing things. If you...

The Inner Circle Site is a Maze!

If you're a member of Dr. Davis's Inner Circle site, you know how hard it is to navigate. But I have a YouTube Playlist of videos I've created on using the site--finding yogurt recipes, using the search function, uploading lab tests, finding which lab tests you should take, and more. All videos are under 11 minutes, the longer ones have chapters and time stamps in the description, and in about 30 minutes, you'll be navigating the site like techno-boss. Link here . 

Results of my Carrageenan-Free Diet

Certain things should be left in the aquarium. Readers may recall my ordeal last Saturday with a migraine headache and a trip by ambulance back to my parents' house. Thanks to one of the paramedics jogging my memory, I researched the almond milk I'd started drinking around the time I quit dairy. One of the ingredients was carrageenan, a substance used to induce inflammation, sensitivity to pain and other problems in laboratory animals. Supposedly, the "undegraded" form is safe for human consumption, but undegraded carrageenan has been found to be contaminated with degraded carrageenan, and there are ways that the digestive system could degrade carrageenan itself. For the past few months, I've felt a little bloated, and was starting to have some mild pain in my lower stomach. I thought it might have been the effects of the antibiotics, oral steroids or decongestant (which gave me an allergic reaction) from back in February. I didn't connect it to the sev...
