Free, sounds like you have not had southern fried gizzards then have you?freemotion said:It is amazing what eating what our great-great-great-grandparents ate does for our bodies. I think it is so cool that Dr. Price began his research believing that the healthiest peoples would of course be vegans. I used to think the same way, even though I didn't feel right if I ate vegan for only ONE DAY. I tried really hard to go veg, just couldn't do it. Now I know why it didn't work for me.
He found that the healthiest ate a variety of foods, and a commonality among those healthiest was that they ate meat with fat, always with the fat. The least healthy of the groups were mostly vegetarian, but ate insects, grubs, and such. No thank you!
The one thing I can't do that all the healthiest peoples did is to eat the organ meats. I will have to shoot for ten of the eleven commonalities for now!
I can't thank you enough for the recommendation. It's so straight forward it's easy to make sense of it all!Wifezilla said:Here is a link to Weston Price's book...

You can read it for free online.
The same thing that Weston Price saw in his journeys is also documented in Good Calories Bad Calories by Gary Taubes.
He talks about the Pima Indians and the Tokelau Atoll natives. Both of these cultures were isolated and had fantastic health UNTIL they began getting food stuffs from Westerners. Primarily sugar and white flour.
I am so glad you like Barry's book. I have been in contact via email a couple of times. He really has his head on straight
Does that mean I have until midnight to gobble on my easter basket full of chocolate?Henrietta23 said:It's tough on a holiday! I stuck to the ham and asparagus, but just had to sample the scalloped potatoes. Usually my mom makes them and under cooks the potatoes, but today I made them since she has a broken wrist. I made them with fresh Jersey cream and real butter and oh MAN were they good!! I had an uncured ham which I was really impressed with. The flavor was awesome!
I made a GF cake from a mix for DS's birthday and frosted it with cream cheese/stevia frosting. Everyone loved it. I did have a small piece.
Back on the wagon tomorrow!
Um, sure, if I get to sneak another one of DS's Peeps......Occamstazer said:Does that mean I have until midnight to gobble on my easter basket full of chocolate?Henrietta23 said:It's tough on a holiday!
