What Do I Eat For Breakfast?

I know that each of you is waiting impatiently for me to reveal what I actually eat that made me lose 50 lbs. 

Well here is one thing I eat most mornings.

Yes, really. Natto tastes fine, like what I remember pork 'n beans used to taste like when I ate that. But the slimy look leaves something to be desired. 

One reason I eat it is that it has more vitamin K-2 than any other food in the world. There are a few vitamins that are in short supply in our diet. K-2 is one of them. For a more in depth discussion of this click here. 

If you eat fermented cheese like blue cheese, liver, pasture fed butter and milk, or have good gut bacteria that live on soluble fiber, you might be ok—might. But if you don't, you should supplement. This is not the K-2 you are looking for, move on. (Remember that K-1 is not the same vitamin!) 

K-2 is crucial in calcium allocation. Even if you have enough calcium, without this vitamin, along with vitamin D, the calcium is not laid down in the bones as well. Even worse, the calcium might be put in places you do not want it, like your heart. 

So either crack open the styrofoam Natto container, eat a lot of blue cheese, or get some supplementation.

Nothing is Real

While things are real, I am not sure what we concentrate on as a people is all that real.

What Was He Thinking?

While I agree with some of the ideas in this short video, i.e. the poorest in the US is wealthier than most people around the world, I do think that there is a basic flaw in the presentation. Using income inequality to defend income inequality is got to be one of the dumber concepts I have seen in a while. Yes, if poor nations were wealthy they would be better off. This is called "begging the question."
