Wow. You must have had quite a down pour.

I had read in Michael Crichton's book, "Jurassic Park" that our
forefathers only spent 20 hours a week accumulating provisions for the
week. He didn't footnote that observation and I've wondered about it
ever since. Now we are civilized and work forty + hours a week. What an
advance for humanity (sarcasm).

It appears that Diamond and Pollan are on the same page. It's an
interesting juxtaposition with Diamond and Pollan recommending getting
back to natural, traditional foods and Charlie's "nano food" post
yesterday, which heralds another attempt by agribusiness to get us to
eat "stuff" which has never existed in our diets, or in nature, before.
Begging the question, "Is it any good for us?", thus taking us even
further away from traditional foods.

Phyto nutrients and bioflavonoids may well be the new frontier in
healthy foods, if we can fight off the strangulation of natural food by
the usual suspects.

"The story so far . . . " Do you know anything about this Dr. Jay
Wortman? I'm just putting my toes into the waters of the cholesterol
controversy by eating "real eggs" (free range from a friend). My A1c was
up on my last test, so I've already started to make adjustments. My
diet is becoming more meat and vegetables (I have no idea when I will
get a chance to use my home made pizza dough that is languishing in the
freezer). I fear this also doesn't bode well for the chocolate almonds.

Very informative articles, thank you.
