The politicization of food is a really sore subject for me, mainly because as somebody with a food allergy I’m more acutely aware of it.
Too many people push these fads, and use people who have real medical issues like Celiac Disease and Food Allergies as props for Nanny state solutions.
I remember when I was in grade school I was the first case student with a Peanut allergy, and there was serious issues that had to be addressed. However, a few years down the road a lot of other kids “had” peanut allergies, and did much to muddle things as to what food allergies/intolerances really are and is ultimately counterproductive.
I’ve been doing the Paleo diet and it is great, my wife is diabetic and withing a couple of weeks her blood sugar was in the normal range with no drugs.
What kind of wheat do you buy? How long can you store it in its whole state? How do you mill it?
I want to make some.
So, how much rice can we eat and not be turned into rest home cases?
People discussing a doctors study is not the same as govt mandates on diets.
Thanks for the recipe!!!
Did you also get rid of potatoes in your diet? I thinking of a nice 12 oz rib eye with a salad and skipping the potato. Does that sound right?
Atkins all over again. No one wants to admit he was right.
you might want to visit this site.... single malt made in the states... in VA no less
nobody knows, but when your food talks to you all sorts of possibilities creep in don’t they.
So where did the bans on Trans-fats come from?
Well my first guess is it didn’t come from people on FR.
So your solution is to ban free speech on food topics, brilliant.
Anybody who believes “modern wheat” is going to poison them IS a gullible fool. Ditto to anyone who thinks that Monsanto corn is a tool of a giant conspiracy to experiment on the human race.
My daughter has done research on this. They are right; the wheat and grains we eat today are not the same our grandparents ate and it IS bad for us.
Because showing my displeasure of how things are discussed equals censorship.
Who said anything about the government getting involved? There was not one word in this video about the government having a single thing to do with this concept. On the contrary, the government provided us with the wonderful “food pyramid” that helped everybody gain weight and develop diabetes. This is just the opposite. Here’s the program: you stop eating crap. It’s entirely your own choice. No government involved.
You’re welcome.
you can still buy tortillas made with REAL LARD.
its upsetting to say the least to finish reading a preppers thread about putting wheat, barley,rice, etc etc away for long term storage, and then coming here and reading that it’s all bad for you...:(
