New Zealand, (my home for those from other places reading this blog) has had major earthquake. Christchurch, one of our largest cities was struck earlier today by a devastating earthquake. Home of Jamie Scott, a fellow New Zealand paleo nutritionist and “That Paleo Guy” (awesome paleo nutrition blogger). Jamie is okay, I texted him earlier today. He has posted on Twitter too. Many people in Christchurch may be personally affected as they will have friends and families who have been injured or worse.
Our thoughts go out to all those affected.

Just woke up this morning here in the UK and heard the terrible news. As a fellow Kiwi I’m thinking of all my compatriots.
It’s just shocking, nothing else on TV right now, continuous coverage of the disaster.
Is Jamie ok?
Yes thankfully Jamie is okay, I texted him earlier.
What heart-breaking news. I follow Jamie’s blog too, and I’m so glad that he is ok.
