Paleo Diet and Paleolithic Diet Questions & Answers

Question

10

Sometimes you think you've nailed it--an incisive question, a well-researched on-point answer, or a brilliant display of wit.

Then . . .

NOTHING -- a big fat zero

or you might limp in with +/- 1

Here's a chance to dazzle the PH community again to see if you get a better score the second time around. Give us your most underrated post, either question or answer (include a link for context). Good luck!

Wait, a -1 counts as limping in? I always thought a -1 was a real ouchie. Great idea for a question, by the way. – Paul Sep 5 2011 at 5:23

second chances would derive the same result. People mostly upvote their friends, and down-vote the people they usually disagree with. – The Loon Sep 5 2011 at 18:52

@ The Loon, while there are some cliques amongst P-Hackers, I don't share your cynical view of the community's voting patterns. You probably have some under-appreciated posts in your archives that you could use to answer the question. More exposure may lead to more upvotes. Here's a good one called "Soil and Health" that I just upvoted: paleohacks.com/questions/60071/… – Ed♦ Sep 5 2011 at 21:30

I think the Loon could edit that question with a link to a good article or something, which would call it to our attention again and give people something to dig into. He could also put the words "Kurt Harris" in the title to get more views. That part was a joke -- but it is shocking that that post has only 37 views. – Paul Sep 6 2011 at 16:53

Paul, also, I want to emphasize your other great point about revising a question to "call it to our attention again." Whenever you edit a question or answer, it bumps the thread to the top of the "Recent Questions" list. This will lead to more people viewing your post. – Ed♦ Sep 6 2011 at 17:42

How about:

Trans fat v. stubborn body fat

This one may not qualify since I'm not looking for a better score, but rather, a more detailed response to my specific question. The two responses I got - while good - did not really address the actual biochemistry of trans fat storage in the body, which is what I was hoping for.

Thanks for the second chance! :)

I was quite pleased with myself when I answered this question from Stephen-Aegis:

Uric Acid Level testing/Fructose Damage,

but despite having no other answers to consider, the voters were underwhelmed.
