Things I’m Up to and Interested In

Video I loved: What the Japanese really eat.

I feel obligated to remind everyone: The supposedly “definitive” evidence indicting saturated fat in favor of high omega-6 seed oils was totally fraudulent and actually showed the opposite.

I can’t improve on the article’s title: “Spaniard raised by wolves disappointed with human life.”

Cartoon I liked: An anti-electricity single-paneler from the early 20th century.

Now that’s what I call a stew: An interdisciplinary team cooks up a 4000 year-old Babylonian stew recipe.

Recipe Corner

• This is certainly not keto, and it is vegan, but it is quite interesting: matcha no-bake cheesecake.

Comment of the Week

“My Monday coffee group is my tribe and, in fact, that’s what we call this group of about 8 women ages 65 to 90. There’s a lot of wisdom around that table as well as laughter and, occasionally, tears. We’re of varying sizes and levels of activity and nutrition, but we support each other, which is what it’s all about IMHO.”

– We should all be so lucky, Sheila.
