    All these religious dietry groups milking a cash cow hung on old science that is often so out of date its not funny.

    Science has not just moved on in the intervening years since most of these guys (such as Atkins and Price) but is has leaped into the modern era.
    Price was a dentist born in 1870. A victorian era detist with a prejudiced view and no knowledge of modern science at all. The book is a re-print of one from 1939 .................... I'm very skeptical of the whole approach and can see several glaring errors looking through that website, and refference to spiritual magical effects in crop growing and farming...........Biodynamics:rolleyes:

    ya I kinda liked the idea that paleolithic man ate a lot of meat
    and only found the occasional fresh tuber to dig up
    seems like they have some evidence for that
    but eating nothing but fat cattle meat which is a twisted version of something like a water buffalo I think is bound to be bad for you
    Im sticking to a variety of game animal and duck instead of chicken
    I eat my share of fresh veggies and only binge on pasta sometimes
    little bread but not much
    I eat my share of sea food
    bla bla bla
    but all in all Im healthy as an ox
    so not going to worry about it

    hope all is well

    Sorry Boston, no harm intended, just a cheeky little dig with a friend. Your posts today seem quite down, I hope you feel better in the new year... God Bless and seasons salutations....

    Get that boat of yours and we may well meet on the high seas as friends for a beer or three & share a meal of something...

    na Im fine just trying to get back on my feet from this ugly market we seem to all be in

    was just my luck to
    I patented a great energy saving idea and now Im having a hell of a time selling it
    was hoping it would allow me to build and get out of dodge
    but now all is on hold

    thanks though
