Bottom line - there's a very small population which has been proved to benefit in all cause mortality by using statins. And even that population would be better served by following the 'no sugar' advice. http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/08_04/b4068052092994.htm

But I think that progress has been made. Education and family planning have been improving the world over. There is a lot of stuff to be depressed about, and still a lot to do, but I don´t think we need to lose hope that humanity will survive. On that track, Hans Rosling (see video), awesome smart guy, points out that birth rates have actually converged in much of the world, including China, India, Pakistan, and the like, at a low birth rate. It´s the two billion poorest of the poor who are left with a population explosion. Even a lot of religious leaders are behind family planning, at least when you frame it as child spacing, because they see the benefits to families when they are able to better care for the children the do have. Video that is cool: http://www.gapminder.org/videos/population-growth-explained-with-ikea-boxes/ Now about the paleo eating. I am thinking some sort of relocation of world population so we are less densely living, with more local farming (of non-grains) and local eating. Hmm. Most people now live in urban areas though (the world population recently switched from majority rural to majority urban), so that may be difficult... I´m going to go out on a limb here and say that trains are the answer. Yup. At least that is what just came to me. We need people to be able to get where they are going quickly and efficiently, with fewer greenhouse gases and other crap. Therefore, we need trains. That way, people can live a little more spread out, sustain some farms, and live better? Argh. Trains need energy. Farms need space. And there are a LOT of people. Well, my thoughts have run out... But I hope I added something to the conversation. Yes, the global population is still increasing exponentially, and I just graphed some data, and it is still one of those go-to-infinity graphs.

My name is Kathrine, they just call me K @ CFW. Pam was so kind as to work up our block scripts 4 us... I'm at 63.5" /180.6#/36.45% b.f./ 114.8 lean mass. Due to a back injury I am forced to modify several movements at the moment. Im headed into almost 2 yrs of CF on and off {most recently on though :) }. I am WODing 3-4 times a week but all light (in weight) WOD's.... I did the zone briefly when I first started CFto try it out, so measuring and prep time im familiar with lol The last few months I was eating Paleo about 75% of the time... Of course, lose weight is a reason 4 me to be on the zone in the short term- but I REALLY want pullups, and I REALLY want to up my lifts- I like heavy stuff lol Increased power is deff a long term goal. :) ok, let's whoop some ass then!!!

We are about to talk about the most important thing in your life, YOUR HEALTH. That puts you and I on a first name basis, I hope!. Hi, My name is David but some of my best friends call me Chef. Either works well for me.... ;-P Now, here we go: The more questions you ask, the smarter I get. I have learned more in the past 20 years from people asking serious questions than I did in eight years of school, so pile it on! There is possibly no cooler activity on this earth than learning new stuff, so help me out and ask a LOT of questions! Let's find out a couple of hard data points together that might make adapting a solid Paleo lifestyle to the zone. Please share some stats with me? Height, weight, est. bodyfat percentage, basic training schedule, are you doing the WODs as RX'd? Have you just recently started or have you been doing CF for some time? ... and the most important question of all, by far, WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS? What do you want from this new phase in your eating? By having a real answer to that last question you can eliminate a lot of false starts and really focus on the targets, both long and short term. Hit me with the facts and we'll whoop it's ass from there... Hi K., First things first… what’s your NAME!? :-) (era of interweb anonymity and all that just doesnt sway with me.

(Somedays I'm just not that hungry) 2)HOW DO I COOK FOOD WITH NO FAT?! I don't use non-stick cookwear, 1/3tsp of butter isn't gonna stuff not stick! lol If I "skin the zone" for extra fat so I can cook, should I then skin the zone for the rest of the day? or can I just cherrypick whick meals to do it in? Thanks, that is all for now, I'll be back ;-) Great- but you may regret what happens the next few days…lol

Your writing is phenomenally frank and is enjoyable. I completely agree that people need to start thinking about this as a choice. I have been tiptoeing around paleo/primal for a while but have finally committed myself to kick the grain habit for good. Posts and websites like this really help when motivation gets low and peer pressure gets high. Thanks. Kevin Chef,
