I'm going to this with our own famous Lex Rooker. Anyone else interested?

By coincidence I had checked today to see how that symposium was coming along and happened to see that Lex had signed up.

I think Lex should be a speaker rather than a guest. He is an excellent speaker and the symposium needs a representative from the raw side of the Paleoverse, preferably Lex or Denise Minger. The rest of the community has yet to take raw-Paleo seriously so there is a need for someone from within our general sphere to provide the raw perspective and show that it is not complete nonsense followed only by morons and the insane.

Or if Lex won't do it, then perhaps you would be up for it, Kyle? It might fit in well with your career aspirations. Best to wear a shirt, though.

I'd rather be a speaker maybe next year or in a few years after doing some research at school so as to have some credentials. All I could really say now is "we think in paleo times people probably cooked their food less or not at all...blah blah blah." Not too interesting.

Thanks for making the post Kyle. I believe Danny Roddy will be attending with us as well. He lives here in the Los Angeles area and we get together for a rare steak on a regular basis.

Actually I wasn't going to attend the symposium, but Kyle and Danny shamed me into it.

LOL, good work Kyle and Danny!

I checked the speaker list and it's tightly packed, with each speaker only getting 20-30 minutes, so it may not be possible for Lex to speak. But maybe it might still be possible if one of the TBA's doesn't show?

Anyone know if tickets are still available to this?

FYI Minger is on the speaker list!

Oooh, neat, thanks! I hope a video becomes available for her talk.

FYI Denise Minger is also on the speaker list for the annual Weston A. Price symposium - this year to be held in Texas. Go Denise!

*bump* a few days until the symposium. Anyone else decided to come?

From Minger's blog July 31, 2011, emphasis mine):

First item of business: The Ancestral Health Symposium. Due to some serendipitous events, it turns out I'll be presenting at this hyperventilation-inducingly-awesome event next week. My lecture is at 10:00 AM on August 6th in the Rolfe 1200 auditorium. If you're lucky enough to have a ticket, I hope to see you there, and to verify my existence for anyone who still thinks I'm a meat industry puppet. Otherwise, unless PETA pops in and sets fire to UCLA, all the presentations should be available online for free shortly after the symposium is over. Woohoo!

I'll be glad to meet her

The Ancestral Health Symposium is in motion. There have apparently already been some pugilistics, or at least some disagreement

, between two of the most highly regarded luminaries in cooked Paleo circles--Stephan Guyenet and Gary Taubes. Sounds interesting. Looking forward to seeing the videos that are supposed to come out.

How was it everyone?

Raw Kyle · « **Reply #14 on:** August 10, 2011, 11:09:39 am »

Symposium was very good. Some presenters were a bit amateurish but most were good and some outstanding (Taubes, Eades and Naughton). Here are pictures that I took with Dr. Eades and Denise Minger as well as a group shot of myself, Lex Rooker, Bill Mullan and Danny Roddy; we palled around together at the event. Also are some of the posters that were being presented.

Thanks. I wish I could have gotten more pictures with other people.

awesome.

did you discuss your diet or own ideas with some of these honchos?

Not at all, it was busy and I spent all of my time listening to lectures. I think a couple of people asked Lex and I what we were eating one day but that was about it.

Good looking woman, there.

JW · « **Reply #20 on:** August 12, 2011, 07:39:16 am »

Any word if there will be another symposium in 2012? Really regret not going to this one. Looks like it was great.

I'm going through the videos one at a time. Some are pretty interesting, others, well... Anyone have a strong reaction to anything they've seen so far?

I strongly disliked most of Boyd Eaton's talk. It came across, especially at the end, as more of a pro-social engineering talk rather than a health oriented talk about paleo diet and lifestyle. It was very strange.

Projectile Vomit · « **Reply #24 on:** August 15, 2011, 05:50:45 am »

Social engineering, eh? I'll have to bump that one up the list. I might get to listen to it later this evening. But right now I have a sunset over Lake Champlain to catch.
