Here are a few renditions of the our national anthem, The Star Spangled Banner, performed by a various artists. Enjoy! And be safe.
Here’s Ted Nugent, a Protein Power fan, with the rompin’ stompin’ Paleo-meat eaters version. Can’t figure how the headdress fits in.

Here is Jake Shimbakuro with a little more mellow and melodic version.

And what 4th of July would be complete without America’s most loved and reviled politician giving it her best. Listen closely if you can bear it. Bless her heart. It’s not an easy song to sing.

And, finally, the classic Jimmy Hendrix at Woodstock version. Not really my cup of tea, but being a guitar player myself, I’m in awe of the sounds he could wring out of the instrument.

Top o the morning to you from nr Dawson City in the Yukon.
Was wondering what happened to Ray Audette and i saw this.
He really isn’t that bright…bless him.
Hey Simon–
Good to hear from you. It’s been a while.
Who is this idiot, John? I haven’t read as much distortion and moronicity together in one place since the last time I read one of John Edwards’ speeches.
Inquiring minds want to know…who is this dolt who speaks with such authority on subjects about which he obviously knows very little. He should read my friend Staffan Lindeberg’s new paper on the first study ever of people on a Paleolithic diet. I’ll post on it soon.

Great Blog! I was aboslutely loving the different renditions of the Star spangled Banner, that is until I got to the one featuring that Carpetbagger from Arkansas.
As my daughter would say, “uuuuoooo”.
Your daughter’s comment would be appropriate.

Figures.
Hello Dr. Eades,
My oh my… I have read Protein Power and PP Lifeplan… I am embarassed to say, but as some people follow ‘The Dead’ or the ‘The Stones’, follow you guys *lol*
of course, not literally, but am a huge fan and voracious reader and am so thankful for your website…
it is funnier for me because of Hindu Indian heritage, meat is the one thing that is taboo for a lot of us, but is sacred to me… sacred = I eat a lot of it!!!
I check your website at least once a day, and have incorporated some of the things I have seen mentioned here, both by your posts and by reader’s comments…
So far what I have found works great for me:
IF: I basically skip breakfast and lunch and just feel great all day… I usually have to have a lunch or two for work client/social reasons, but am more than happy to skip if I am on my own…
Stop Worrying about Too Much Protein Intake:
I realize that it will take a while for me to lose the 35 lbs I need to go (I have dropped 40 so far)… I was stressing out for a long while about protein causing some sort of insulin spike and I read Dr. Rosedale’s book (I love that one too) about protein turning to glucose, but frankly, I just don’t feel very satisfied eating small amounts of protein chased with extra virgin olive oil… I usually throw down raw egg yolks, some rare/raw red meat, and then a protein shake for dinner…
Saturated Fat Intake:
This one is funny… the more I take, the better I feel, the stronger I am in the gym, the better food digests, and the better my skin looks…
I usually eat 2 tbs of raw butter, then ‘spike’ my meal with 1 stick of melted organic butter, then I have my protein shake…
Final Point:
One of the reader comments mentioned a protein powder call Nutragammax in a food expo post about 4-5 months back… I looked this up and finally figured out it was some bovine plasma serum… I got some from proteinfactory.com and have found my lifts have gotten better and I am getting more muscular… after my meat and eggs for dinner, I usually have a zero carb shake of whey isolate, micellar casein, and super plasma bovine serum… I estimate my protein intake for dinner to be approximately 140 grams… my lean body mass is about 136 lbs
Thanks again for all of your work and help. Please let us know if you are ever speaking in the San Francisco Bay area…
*Steak Tartare Rules*
Hi golooraam–
Thanks for the kind words about the books and blogs.
And thanks for the interesting dietary history. I could hang in there with it all, especially the Steak Tartare, one of my favorites, but I think I would balk at the 2 tbs of raw butter followed by the stick of melted butter chaser.
I’ll make sure to post if we’re speaking in your neck of the woods.

Dr. Eades, I imagine this would serve better as its own post, but I’d love to know your take on the new omega 3 study from the American Journal of Epidemiology. Apparently increased consumption of omega 3s is associated with lower risk of colorectal cancer, but I can’t figure out how significant the effect is:

Hi John–
I’ll pull the paper and give it a look. It’ll give me something to read on my flight to London tomorrow.
Cheers–
MRE
Ah, lucky you and MD, off to Europe! London is one of my most favorite cities to visit.
Bon voyage!
Thanks, but don’t envy us (me) too much. I’m dreading this trip like a beating. We have a crazy flight schedule, and given the airline problems we’ve had lately, no telling where we’ll end up. I’ve got a million projects in the works right now that have been simmering along for months, but that now are needing my attention. It never fails; no matter how far in advance you plan a big trip always ends up coming at the worst moment.
Plus, I’ll get over there and be without my wife, who will be rehearsing constantly for her multiple performances. And I will be expected to be on hand for all these performances, even though I’ve heard this same music by this same choral group countless times. Choral music – after it’s been heard over and over – to me is like slow-pitch softball. It’s a lot more fun to do than to watch.
But, I’ll bear up under it all and be the plucky little soldier that I am.
Cheers–

Alright sunbeam are you and the singing Mrs going to Pareee..i canny recall ?
If so go to Restaurant Bariballe( rue Vaugirard nrst Metros Pasteur or Sevres-Lecourbes) for the best priced/best value food in Pareee.
And ask if Bella is there and if so say Simon/Sam sent you and that i’m Mayo the Yukon in Canada.
Seriously its 5 mins from where i lived a local legend…just wonderful..truly
Hi Simon aka Rev Senor Quim Santos–
No Paree this time. We’re going first to London, then to Rome, from there north through Italy to Bavaria, where the singing Mrs. and her group are the grande finale of the a Bavarian summer music festival right outside of Munich. Then to Edinburgh for a couple of days, then back. And that’s assuming the airlines cooperate.
In London were staying in Mayfair, but we’ll only be there for about 20 hours thanks to Continental Airlines (see recent post). Got any good restaurant recommendations? How about in Rome? And in Endiburgh?
Cheers–
