Watching the Rabbit Hole

So here I am, writing my first post.  A flurry of ideas to choose from,  but where to start…  Ah, now I know.

I am currently digesting some wonderfully disturbing information presented by Sally Fallon.  This Sally Fallon gal has gained fame and notoriety from her wonderful book Nourishing Traditions, as well as her co-author work done with Mary Enig in Eat Fat, Lose Fat.  (Mary Enig also contributed to Nourishing Traditions.)  This wonderfully disturbing information came from Sally’s (and Mary’s too, ironically), famed speech “The Oiling of America”.

“The Oiling of America” is a particularly disturbing presentation in the form of a basic history course on how America went from a nation with it’s nutrition rooted in healthy fat consumption to a nation anchored in an endless sea of vegetable oils so to speak.

Lets take a brief pause now to mourn the loss of all those readers out in the wild, blue yonder who quickly directed themselves to another webpage so that they could spare themselves another lecture from another crazy fat-fanatic.

Okay, the minute’s up.  So here we are, a little confused about where we exactly are heading with this post (or at least I am), but the cats out of the bag.  Another Paleo, high-fat-low-carb-diet dude here to tell me how great he feels when he eats a stick of butter and the abomination commonly refered to as carbohydrates…  Right?  Yes!  Well, except for that last part, certain carbohydrates are great for you.  But all that’s for future posts…

This post is an attempt to encourage you to have an open opinion about what I say, even if it goes against everything you have come to form strong opinions about.  Much like Neo (pictured above), the majority of people live in a Matrix they have no idea about.  A Matrix they accept freely because they are not aware of anything else to except.

Now this is all beginning to get strange, but the fictitious Matrix is not far from how we live our lives today.  What I hope to offer with this blog is information to help change that.  To help people get out of this Matrix of diabetes, cancer, heart disease, auto-immune diseases etc… and to help them form a life that is centered in well-being.

But this is not easy. The truth can be enlightening, but it can also be extremely frightening. (Hey! That’s like the name of this blog!) So I guess we all sit as Neo, faced with two options; we can take the “Red Pill” and become witnesses to how things truly are, or we can take the “Blue Pill” and just accept our comfy world; live in the bliss that is ignorance.

Anyways, I hope I don’t sound like I’m making this blog super important.  I was just trying to tie in a favorite metaphor of mine to throw a weak philosophical view on things.  But I still hope I can help some people out there by providing information, and help debunk some myths that have been created and perpetuated by society.

This is the beginning of the Rabbit Hole, and the further we go down, the nastier we will realize how things are.  And I guess that’s the whole point of the blue-pill-red-pill thing, do we really want to get to know that nastier things along with the good things, or do we just want the status quo.  I look forward to traveling -or, most likely, tumbling- down this Rabbit Hole with you all.
