I identified the most important question you can ask yourself when working out, which was “what do you want?” But in walking around various gyms, I also figure that there’s a good runner up to that question. Ask yourself, “what … Continue reading Another important question to ask for the putative exerciser…

This is controversial but only because vegans are very, very convinced that their diet is the morally and dietarily perfect. Adam Yauch, the beloved member of the Beastie Boys passed away from a very treatable form of cancer because of … Continue reading Science, Diets, Cancer, and Adam Yauch

I tend to make these for … Continue reading The worst thing I’ve ever eaten.
