Can you guys put up a link to the Hadza gazelle butchering article? Google has failed me.

Rob,
I just finished reading Grain Brain. I was wondering if you have digested all the material and what were your thoughts especially on the intermitting fasting and extremely low carb? I realize you have changed your position as new research has come available and was curious to know if this has had that affect?
Amy B. says
Holy cow…
Really great interview! Glad I listened. When I first heard about John’s book, I thought, “Great, just what the world needs — another Paleo book.” But it sounds like this one has a lot more to offer than the nutritional advice that’s been covered to heck & back. Definitely gonna get myself a copy.

Hahaha
Carrie says
Excellent! I know the Durants and am so excited for all of his work!
Charlie says
This interview was WAY better than the dumbass questions I’ve been sending in. Paleo Manifesto is now on my reading list! As soon as I finish Antifragile.
Hey, how likely is it that you’ll get to interview Taleb someday?
linda says
Does anyone think it’s odd how close John Durant’s and Mat Lalonde’s voices sound? Especially the intonation when Durant says about handwashing “..it is not intuitive at all.” (29.18)
David says
Robb,
Great idea to start to suck up to Jews! Philo-semitism will help soften the media’s constant snark and mocking of the paleo diet. A bit more of that and we might one day have that New York Times article that doesn’t automatically follow every mention of “red meat….” with, “….which science has correlated with heart disease”.
Also, your podcast isn’t diverse enough. Sucking up to Jews helps, but where are all the blacks and Mexicans? They are the majority of births in the U.S., and yet the podcast is shockingly non-vibrant. So start announcing your support for affirmative action and renouncing your white privilege, and that’ll also make the media kinder.
Keep up the good work!
linda says
WTF?!
randy says
haha.
linda says
Nassem Taleb made a comment at the New York Public Library discussion that religions helped antifragility of peoples by incorporating alternate days of vegan, non protein consumption.
What do you think of that idea?
I guess I still don’t see how these things are not “just so stories.” Can you elaborate?
