Did Steve Jobs live 30 years after developing cancer thanks to his near vegan diet? That's the claim made by Dr. John McDougall in a lecture marked by ideology overriding science and common sense.

Bacon, the Feel Good Food

Kaayla T. Daniel Ph.D. on July 27, 2012

What if bacon is actually good for us? What if it actually supports good health and is not a mortal dietary sin after all? What if we can eat all we’d like? And feel better too? Naughty propositions to be sure, but ones The Naughty Nutritionist is prepared to argue. And that promise is not just a strip tease!

Atlas Shrugged and Project Soybean

Kaayla T. Daniel Ph.D. on April 27, 2012

With an "Atlas Shrugged" documentary in the news, it's time to reread Ayn Rand's epic novel and think about all that's being done to our food supply “for our own good.”

Keeping Mondays Meaty

Kaayla T. Daniel Ph.D. on April 20, 2012

Earth Day 2012 is coming up this weekend, leading to much-needed talk about how our food choices impact the planet. Most of this talk, as usual, centers on “veg centric” diets with all of us urged to take the Environmental Working Group’s Meatless Monday pledge. I personally am not about to take that pledge, and here's a dozen good reasons why.

PANDAS
Sex and the Panda

Kaayla T. Daniel Ph.D. on April 4, 2012

To help pandas in captivity mate and reproduce, zookeepers have tried everything from behavioral therapy to showing X-rated videos of humping pandas. This week all eyes were on Tian Tian and Yang Guang at the Edinburgh Zoo, but the mating dance ended when her hormones dropped prematurely. Clearly it's time to consider the role of the panda diet.

Ever wonder about those plump well-endowed DD cup chickens at the supermarket? Yes, chickens today are bred to be mostly breasts, but that's not all.

Like Sex or Chocolate

Kaayla T. Daniel Ph.D. on February 21, 2012

A few years back, Cadbury Chocolate did a survey and announced with great fanfare that more than half the women in the UK would rather curl up with a chocolate bar than let a man get a leg over. That's not good news for those British men who like to boast that they've got more than a stiff upper lip!
