If You Build it They Will Come

It appears as though my readership has dropped off a bit. I am going to assume that it is because I have not been posting regularly and because I have not posted any interesting links. I had thought that my witty repartee would be interesting enough but it appears not.
A dichotomy: Although I do follow a Paleo diet most of the time and I believe it helps I have noticed that it is, as are all things currently or formerly associated with crossfit a one size fits all approach. The dichotomy that I noticed is the assertion, by the paleo folks, that we have not evolved to the point where our bodies can handle the rigors of the modern diet at the same time they embrace barefoot running evidently under the impression that our anatomy has evolved sufficiently to allow us to run barefoot on modern surfaces such as concrete. An amusing aside; there is an ad for barefoot running shoes and that is PFF. For a definition of PFF please e-mail me and I will explain. Most of you, however, are pretty smart (or you wouldn't be reading this blog) and can probably figure it out.
There you have it. Tons of fun in one post. Hopefully enough fun to boost my readership back up to its former level.
