Paleo Bandwagon

Most recently the Paleo bandwagon has been getting more crowded with followers as evident in the following graphic showing Google search results.

What is not right is the expansion of these paleo branded products which are not paleo such as

-primal whey (its dairy, and made into a liquid form)

-coconut water (its sugar)

Lorin Cordain, the first published author's first book was popular when it first came out but as since gained in popularity with the movement.

Honey, We Are Shrinking!

Stallone, Arnold, Willis, Van Damme, Steven Segal, pretty much everyone else in the movie "Expendables" are known as big time, big action, big bad ass alpha males. The last action star Vin Diesel fizzled out in the 1990s. Now popular movie action stars consist of the a different breed of males such as Seth Rogan as green lantern, Jake Gyllenhaal, Tobey Maguire. And dudes like Vince Vaughn is getting with Jennifer Aniston in the movie "The Breakup". In the year 2011, Conan the Barbarian once played by the Governator will be played by Jason WTF Momoa.

There is definitely a trend here. Is the male population shrinking, are we having shrinkage? So scratch you head, fit into your skinny jeans, and do some cardio cause a new dawn is upon us.
