fad of the week

So, according to a NYTIMES article (a supplent in our Manila bulletib)  there are delusional folks who think they are in a paleo lifesyle.

one exam9e

no soap, so she shampoos with baking soda and jojoba oil.

jojoba oil from where? India. Baking soda from death valley?

Why not use bouncing bette, which you can find growing wild in vacant fields?  Or yucca,ehich was the shampoo used by American beauties in tbe Southwest before Columbys.

or maybe put clay in your hair, or use ashes,
