... locally farm-grown and raised coconut oil! This was too long to tweet, but Jimmy Moore is at it again stirring up contention in the Paleo community.
We’d certainly be a lot better off in our weight and health as a society with less need for pharmaceutical medications and chronic disease management if everybody just started consuming foods they recognize as being grown, raised and harvested by local farmers in their communities. Of course, it wouldn’t happen overnight as sustainable farmer Nick Wallace shared in my recent podcast interview with him. But getting a good percentage of people to choose real foods like grass-fed beef, pastured eggs, coconut oil, green leafy vegetables and more would certainly be a great step in the right direction of where we need to go nutritionally-speaking in the years to come to prevent a total healthcare meltdown from happening. I see this as a common mode of thinking that permeates through both the low-carb and Paleo communities.
I can certainly get locally grown and raised grass-fed beef, pastured eggs (WTF is up with that term? It just sounds off to me, but anyway ...) and green leafy veggies, but there are no coconut trees anywhere!
