Comment on Paleo in Seattle: 50 North by Michelle

I’ve walked by 50 North, but I hadn’t gotten around to checking them out yet. Their menu looks fabulous, and it’s so exciting to find out about a paleo-friendly restaurant in my neighborhood!

I just found an article in The Seattle Times that says that the owner personally transports the restaurant’s produce from Vashon Island. Love that!

Comment on Paleo in Seattle: Ipanema Brazilian Grill by Peter

Gil is right. Ever since I had Brazilian in Miami a few years back I’ve been crazy about it. When I discovered we had the Ipanema right downtown, I had a birthday party there. There’s another very good place right by the Factoria Mall, for those on the East Side.

Comment on Healthful Eating ≠ Empty Bank Account (Part 2) by Gillius

Hey Lisa,

Yes a low quality Paleo diet is better than none at all. This post was to show it is possible and hopefully people can work on their quality level. I would rather see someone spend as little as possible on cheap produce and put all their extra money towards quality meat. There isn’t really a health benefit to organic produce, while grass-fed meat sure is different than conventional.

Regarding the eggs, they are a very cheap source of protein. Sure, snacking on some grassfed meatballs or some leftover wild salmon would be better, but again we are looking at low budget shopping. If the eggs weren’t the snack, it likely would be replaced with a bag of chips and a soda. Also, someone who eats this whole list is likely either very active or used to eating a lot of food. Honestly they probably don’t need the snack, but if a few extra eggs gets them through the day, keeps them eating paleo, and doesn’t screw up their budget, I am fine with that.

Thanks for your comment, glad you liked the post.

Gil

Wow! Great job, Gil. Very helpful! It may take more work, but you’ve shown it is doable. Though it seems to me that the expenses go up when you try to eat “clean” grass fed meats, and organic produce, so I’m guessing it’s better to go inexpensive Paleo than no Paleo? Also, I noticed you at 18 eggs in three days! Is that healthy? I was under the impression that ideally you should do far fewer eggs that than that per week?

I was inspired to conduct a similar experiment last summer after seeing a woman buying 40 frozen pizzas.

I was so freaked out by seeing one person buy 40 pizzas, I had to speak with her. Was she buying them for a restaurant? Did she have 40 kids?

What was the deal?

They were cheap & they tasted great was the answer.

Of course, the diabetes meds sort of balanced out the whole economic advantage.
