For those new, just Stumbling, googling in or, linked here, this is a roundup of blog post assessments, remembrances, and photos and commentary surrounding the just completed first Ancestral Health Symposium, held on the beautiful campus of UCLA, August 5-6, 2011. Click around. Note that the people don't look like the people do on your average trip to the mall, or, hell, anywhere.
These are people who have ignored every ounce of bullshit vomited by the news media, the "alphabets," the "experts." ...All of whom are the whores of the big "food" conglomerates that manufacture the "crap in a box" and bottled sugar that is making the world obese, step by step.
If you're a regular here, just start clicking and reading. I've read most of them over the last few days, and there's some great stuff which should serve to put your butt in a seat, belatedly.
Let's get to it. They're going up in exactly the order they came to me.

Angelo "Latest in Paleo" Coppola. He wasn't there (so this will remain at bottom in deference to those who were) but has a podcast about the event, and he's always worth listening to.

Blogger attendees at AHS: Post a comment if you have a post but it's not on the list. I'll add, then delete the comment. Or, if you know of one I haven't listed, same thing.
So how about Help Me, Help You? If you're a blogger, socialize the hell out of this and if you're on the sidelines, do the same. For the bloggers, perhaps you gain readership and for the rest of you, you promote the movement and everyone gets to nest where they want.
Tweet it, post it on Facebook and Google +. Link it. Email it. Go all out. I've had diarrhea of the mouth about my own experience for years now. This is organic Paleo, on the scene remembrances and reflections. Get that natural search and traffic flowing in so that the Fat and Hungry just might find a home.
This is a tough place to take up residence, but there are many other options.
