Wow This Group is Busy!
Last comments on the thread seem like they are 3/4 years old. Anyone still active on this group?

Love of Vegetables Starts Extremely Early IMHO
I keep seeing in the media and on morning talk shows (and everywhere quite frankly) parenting tips of how to "sneak vegetables" into your kids diet. My kids LOVE vegetables. My honest belief is that it's because my wife. Certainly not me. We both watched our kids when they were very young. We worked on alternating days and…

Why Buying an Interactive Rower over a Concept2 Makes no Sense
I don't think there's much argument within the indoor rowing community which company makes the best indoor rower. Every single rating you read tells you that the Concept2 is the way to go. The issue that some have with the Concept2 rower is that, on its face, it doesn't look particularly fun or interactive. That's very…

Vegan Milk
Perfect Day, a startup that I've been following out of curiosity more than anything else (and I know a few of the engineers involved), now has Vegan products, including Ice Cream, out in stores. Basically, this company, through fermentation methods that have existed for years, has grown milk proteins in a lab that are…

Missing Malt Powder??
I've been gluten free for like five years now (Celiac), so I'm pretty solid at avoiding it by now. However, one thing I do miss is the taste of malted milk/shakes. I found out recently that Maca, which is a superfood root (really healthy for you) tastes like malt powder. I make SunWarrior protein drinks now with frozen…

CO2 Meat??
I don't know if it's a debate or not, but find this fascinating. They are now taking CO2 and, with the help of microorganisms, creating protein as a byproduct -- accomplishing two things -- finding a use for CO2 and providing protein with a more sustainable footprint. I'd try it if you don't have to add so many things to…

Genetically Engineered Vegan Milk
I do a lot of work with start-ups in recruiting. There's a very new, really intriguing one to me. It's a company in CA that is making Genetically identical milk in the lab. The idea is it tastes just like milk but if you have ethically questioned if milk is right for you, it fills that need. As someone that's mostly dairy…

Using a C2 (Concept2) Rower on Zwift
I'm not exactly a technical guy, but this article REALLY caught my eye when recently cross posted to a C2 forum. Basically, in very dummied down terms that I understand, you can use an app called Painsled, which uses an I-Phone to translate your Watts on the C2 Rower into an app, then act as a bridge of sorts and create it…

Pickleball Discovery
The wife and I are moving next year to an active adult (over 55) community near Tucson. They have a lot of Pickleball courts there and (albeit years ago) I used to play some tennis, so we thought it might be fun. Instead of waiting till we get there to learn, we recently joined a "Pickleball Club". A guy that married a…

New Study on Cardio Versus Weightlifting
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/08/180824101138.htm Perhaps implications that cardio is more effective for weight loss (or at least increases one hormone thought to be important for weight loss). Probably just more indication you shouldn't neglect one side -- cardio or lifting. Seems like, for the study, the…
