Hubby and I have been on the Paleo diet since the fall of 2011. My triglycerides fell 50%. My cholesterol went down. Hubby had a heart attack right BEFORE we changed our diet, and the doc prescribed statin drugs, which we refused. His cholesterol is now lower than ever.... just with the Paleo diet. 

Get a particle size test (vap test), its much more informative about healty cholesterol function.

Ill look for that book Peter, sounds good.

Care to elaborate more Jay? You using a hammock/tarp combo or what?

Thanks Paul for the site, looks like a lot of good info for me there.

Well reason it's banned is because it doesn't meet the qualifications for beasts of the land. It requires that animals have a hoof and chew their cud in order for them to be eligible for kosher. Pigs are explicitly noted, but only says "while the pig is unclean for you because, although it has a separate hoof, it doesn’t chew the cud. You are not to eat meat from these or touch their carcasses."(deut 14:

Anyone plant forages specifically roots for pasture pigs? Seems to make sense since pigs like to root anyways. What about planting on contour lines to make pig swales? I know they wont push the soil downhill all the time, but hey, still seems like free work. I ask because I think if you mix RG with food "plots" you could displace the need for off site feed.

Anyone every stay or live in a yurt in a cold climate? I know the climate where it originates can be pretty rough, but I wanna hear some first hands from people in a usda zone 5 or lower, maybe some midwest type climates. I really liking the idea of a natural yurt (felt and canvas).

I won't go into why those beliefs and many of its tenants are irrational, but saying two religions ban pork isn't really true. One banned it and the other follows the rules laid out by previous. Its really the same religion but one is like a version 3. Also I would like some latkes.

...by some religions based on scientific fact.

Not sure why. Thats like asking to find scientific reasons why leaven bread isn't kosher during passover.
