Stop — labor time!

Posted on August 28, 2008. Filed under: Baby, Biographical | Tags: , , , |

So humans have been having babies for thousands of years, but if you listen to all of the mothers out there who want to tell you their horror stories, you might be wondering how.   The answer, as far as we can tell, is that labor isn’t as bad as it’s made out to be if [...]

How Not to Kill your Kid, part 2: Infancy

Posted on August 16, 2008. Filed under: Baby, Biographical, Health (non-nutrition), Nutrition | Tags: , , , , |

Now, I’m not a father yet, so this may be a bit premature. Forgive me, but I’ve been having lots of long discussions with nurses, mothers, nutritionists, and at least one person who’s been all three (my mother-in-law), and I feel the building need to write this.
In Part 1 of this series, I talked [...]

The Muslims Had it Right, part 2.

Posted on June 28, 2008. Filed under: Health (non-nutrition), Islam, Science, Uncategorized | Tags: , , |

I think perhaps my comments from yesterday need a bit more explanation:

I don’t believe in the free market.

I should clarify for those of you who have followed my blog long enough to have read my ‘I believe in the free market’ post a month or so ago: I believe the free market is the best way to get to the top of the bell curve in the cheap/high-quality matrix. But what [...]

How to not kill your kid, part 1: Pre-conception to Birth

Posted on June 11, 2008. Filed under: Baby, Health (non-nutrition), Nutrition, Playing with Food, Science | Tags: , , , |

Not killing your kid is a very complex and delicate process. It starts, strangely, long before your kid is born, or even concieved. According to “The Prenatal Prescription” (see my other post on this awesome book), a mother’s wombstate from the moment of conception onward has profound effects on her child’s life. [...]

A side-project of mine

Posted on May 27, 2008. Filed under: Science | Tags: , , |

Very short bit here.
I started a new blog about the link between the U.S. autism epidemic and our ever-increasing vaccination schedule. I think there’s a connection.
It’s a work in progress, but I think (especially as a soon-to-be-father) that it’s worth serious examination.
That’s all for now.

A new (to me) book: the Prenatal Prescription

Posted on May 24, 2008. Filed under: Nutrition, Science, The Carbohydrate Hypothesis | Tags: , , , , |

I talk about a book my wife found called The Prenatal Prescription and my applications of its ideas to things like the obesity epidemic and low-carb dieting.

I has fat.

Posted on May 20, 2008. Filed under: Nutrition, The Carbohydrate Hypothesis | Tags: , , , , , |

I’m fat, but I understand why, and I’d do something about it if I had a bit more self-discipline.
Also, I’ll explain the whole carbs=beergut thing to anyone who is wondering.
