Better than Paleo Diet? Or more of the same

Mediteranian diet, Paleo Diet, eat this not that.

Shit's flying everywhere. eating fast foods make you depressed. Salt is killing the country. look out donut shops Pennsylvania is got super tight nutrition labeling in effect.

And then there's the Nordic Diet.

Actually makes sense. IF YOU LIVE IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES. But then it can be roughly translated to nordic climates with similar food sources. Sure part of the USA is comparable to nordic climates but, um, we've done a damn fine job of growing what we want where we want and if we can't hybridizing the shit out of the crops so they will grow where we want (and folks hybridization is a really really really bad way to do genetic modification - think inbred british standard bulldog bad).

Funny thing is, the crux of the diet is doing the processing yourself (starting with raw fresh locally available ingredients) and doing the work yourself, just using different stuff than "we" are used to. Yeah that's a UK link i posted and they have different stuff in grocery stores than we do, and they are mostly almost as fat as we are too. Go figure. Industrial fattening up. Factories and Mills. Exploit the labor to make a profit.

There i go again ranting out of the mix of stew in my brain. Could be worse. Earlier today I caught up with the Richard Fries web log and was inspired enough to feel like sharing something similar. I've decided just to say "I'm broke too." and leave it at that. We both bought houses around the same time so yeah- draw parallels as you wish. No wonder I'm racing on a frame I bought for $350, and we are driving around in a car i paid $1300 for last year this time. Being a cheap bastard is more a result of being perpetually broke. Things will change. They've started to turn around. Sure our "good" car burning to the ground hasn't helped much. But things will turn around. The one car is a physical reminder of 'make it work' time now. I'm focused on it as a positive. And I'm certainly not feeling as gloomy as i have in the past week or four.

The ride in this morning was pretty damn good. cold, windy J!4 or so, no booties or balaclava single layer on the knees. 40 minute is short enough to get away with it. And heck it is balmy out there now. 33°F with winds only about 15mph (cross wind most of the way home). Light enough cross winds not to matter at all.

Good stuff.

Now go eat some smushed up herring and beets on some spelt.
I've still got to figure out what to make for dinner. Got stuff for about a dozen options or more. To many choices? Maybe. C'est la vie.
