Readers have offered some good suggestions for Fat Head-related t-shirts over the past year. We created one Fat Head t-shirt awhile back through Café Press and sold maybe two of them. The trouble with Café Press is that we never actually see the shirts, plus their prices are so high that by the time you tag on a profit of a buck or two, you’re looking at a pretty expensive piece of cotton.
So we decided to roll the dice and get some t-shirts produced locally. The first, which I chose because several readers asked for it, is a Wheat Is Murder t-shirt — guaranteed to be a conversation-starter if you wear it to a vegan rally or a screening of Forks Over Knives. We’ve listed them on our updated Fat Head Store page.
That’s my lovely wife modeling one of them in the picture at left. We originally planned to sell them for the same rate in the U.S. and overseas, but it turns out overseas postage would reduce the profit margin to zero, so there will be an international shipping charge.
Depending on how this one sells, future candidates for t-shirts include The Guy From CSPI and Scientists Are Freakin’ Liars.
If you enjoy my posts, please consider a small donation to the Fat Head Kids GoFundMe campaign.
I have a few ideas:
“Friends don’t let friends buy Grocery Store meat” (I’m wearing one now)
“Vegetarianism: Ancient Indian word for Bad Hunter”
“Don’t buy food from Strangers”
I’ll buy them all!
love it!
When you make your “Guy from CSPI” shirt, you could give him a subtitle: He’s from the Center for Pseudoscience in the Interests of Vegans and Vegetarians.
He’d need some kind of subtitle for sure.
Love the T-shirt. But do you really need to sell it in size “3 XL”? As if anyone who eats paleo would need one that big. 😀
Where’s the small?
I decided to add the small, remove the 3 XL
I converted April 1st to LCHF. I like the idea of this shirt, but I don’t buy shirts with skulls, etc on them, so I won’t be buying this one.
Also, I think it’s funny that I could purchase a size 3x shirt proclaiming how meat is better for you than wheat.
Yeah, that occurred to me. The body-builders may like them.

My kids (8 and 10) would love *The Guy From CSPI* shirts. The run around quoting Fat Head all the time and they roll that one out at all manner of irrelevant moments.
I guess we’d better add kids’ sizes for that one.
Oh please make the Scientists Are Freakin’ Liars shirt!
I’ll add that to the vote tally.
love it!

Yup, I quoted from it last week. Great piece.
I was going to get one if there was a 3xl, “As if anyone who eats paleo would need one that big” i am that big which is the reason that i am eating paleo. It is sort of rude to think that just because you are in good shape everyone is, there are some of us still working at, i guess will get one once i am an appropriately size 2xl
When we get a sense of what sizes we need, we’ll talk to the manufacturer and see what’s available.

Awesome! I can see I’m going to need this one… and probably any of the other ones you come up with, if it works out. 🙂
Where’s the ladies small? Thanks to a LCHF diet, I’m the same size I was in high school. Perhaps this could be an applique or an iron-on thing.
The men’s small is pretty small. That’s my size-3 wife wearing one in the photo. If you need smaller, let me know and I’ll check with the manufacturer.

Is there a sizing chart?
Whatever you wear in a men’s t-shirt.
Where’s the sexy deep red plunging scoop neckline for the ladies? I don’t wanna look like a guy! I wanna show off the wheatless tatas!
And I cracked up at the “bad hunter” one above.
Well, there are folks who are starting Paleo who may be 3x, 4x, 5x. I started at 5x, ditched grains when I was 2x, and now fitting into L and XL, with a hope be in Mediums before Thanksgiving. 😀
My hubby used to be an XL, then a L, then he ditched grains and in a month his waist zoomed down to 30/31 and he’s wearing Med. I told him not to lose anymore, as men aren’t supposed to look like haute couture bony models! Since saying buh-bye to pasta and bread and such, he can eat 4 and 5x a day, lotsa steak and pork, and still lose. Heh.
Ditching wheat/gluten is a beautiful thing….

Ordered. Thanks!

Indeed! Don’t take away the 3x!!! We are moving down but please don’t make it hard for us to get cool shirts advertising our awesome diet. Friends have noticed I have lost 25 lbs but I still think one needs to buy shirts for “now” size instead of just buying and hoping I get there.
You’re right; we need those too. I’ve updated the range of sizes from small to 3 XL.

How about the evolution silhouette with the fat guy between two hunter gatherers…. with “High fat diets – keeping people slim for 60 millions of years”……..
I know the evolution silhouette is used elsewhere on a paleo shirt…. Never could purchase it and the caption underneath wasn’t funny or witty.
Think I might buy the shirt…. Or possible wait to see if you get any other cool ones. I like the wheat is murder as I have alot of vegan/vegetarian friends.
On a side note – why is it you never have “Vegans for right wing free trade”…. Or at the other spectrum “meat eating hunter for gay rights”… In any case – I reckon that shirt will ruffle up some feathers – its great.
I know exactly one right-wing vegetarian. I’m not sure why, but vegetarians and vegans seem to overwhelmingly lean left.

I love the inscription, but not the cloaked figure. How about a tombstone saying “RIP”? lol
that vegetarian = bad hunter is great.
i especially like the wheat is murder simply because meat is murder is a common vegetarian T shirt often with a cow, chicken, pig and sheep head on it.
another is “i don’t eat things with faces” which easily becomes “i only eat things that had a face” with the cow, chicken, pig and sheep faces on it 😀
Oh yeah, I’m intentionally making fun of the Meat Is Murder slogan.

If Wheat is Murder, is Oatmeal Manslaughter?
We may have to put them all in a lineup.
As of today, I’ve lost 40 pounds, after seeing Fat Head and going LCHF in mid-March. I’d given up, nothing ever worked, but LCHF has been a breeze! I’ve brought my blood sugar readings down from the 300s to 115 this morning – diet alone. I feel like I’ve been reborn. Thank You! I always thought it was weird, how everything I loved to eat was bad for me. It seemed like nature was against me. I mean, rabbits don’t pass up a big juicy leaf to eat a steak. So why did I want one instead of a bowl of wheat flakes and skim milk? Now I see the problem and everything makes sense, finally. Love the t-shirt idea. Since others are thowing in ideas for shirts, here’s mine:
Mother Nature Doesn’t Hate You, After All
(but what about your government?)
LOL, good idea. I used to make that same complaint: why did Nature design us so the foods that taste good are bad for us? I was delighted to learn Nature did no such thing.
The foods that looked Harmless. Like the Breads and Pasta turned out to be really compared to the foods that looked harmful like eggs and meats.

BTW, love the shirt but will they be available in lighter colors for summer dress? Don’t want to walk around in 90 degree temperatures in a black T-shirt.
If there’s a demand, we’ll get ’em done.

I just bought the Wheat is Murder shirt. Looking forward to offending many in the future!
Thank you. If you get into fist-fights with any vegans, but sure to … aw, who am I kidding? Just push them over.

I’m not a skull t-shirt wearing guy either, but I think the image is great… scythes were traditionally used to reap wheat, which is the origin of the Grim Reaper concept, ie, cutting down lives-harvesting souls… perfect. It’s got levels, man.
That’s what I was thinking when we came up with it.

I say the real problem with cafe press is that there is a lot of badly designed junk on there. Whenever I upload anything, it will say something like “30k designs uploaded in the last 24 hours”. That makes it hard to find anything decent.
I also sell stuff on a 3d modeling site, and they have a rating system. The higher rated stuff gets moved to the top of the search. Cafe press could use something similar.
