Hey Folks! Ok, so we’re onto day 2 of the RED project. I changed the name. ROD sounds like a dude… RED sounds like a colour I have a hard time seeing (I’m colour blind). It stands for Research Every Day. Let’s see if it sticks – RED project does sound cooler than ROD project

In search of providing the body with exactly what it needs – it isn’t hard to confuse yourself with all the recommendations IF we base our thought processes on the wrong paradigm. Make sure you eat fish twice a week for your heart! Eat blueberries for better levels of vitamins to help with memory! Grass-fed

  Over/through a small stream, climbing up rocks, and I'm the tiny speck in the bottom right area. Milford Sound, New Zealand. Humans are animals.  You know I’ve spoken about this before.  But I think we need to revisit this idea on a regular basis. John Durant of Hunter-Gatherer.com, made a recent post with a
