Glad to have given you a chance to vent.

The ones most against the principle of not eating grains, hell it is not a principle, I am not a damn cow. are the ones who are of left ideology.

The worst ones are the ones who are of communist ideologies?

I think it has to do with a religious belief about grains. What Jesus is to the Bible, Grain is to Communism, or something.

maybe it is because it presents the working class, maybe it presents “labor”.

but these ideologic groups have been the ones with the most heated rejection of the possibility that grains may not be optimal for your body.

Just am out of a lunch gathering where a heated discussion broke out because I am “unstable” cause I was supporting grains (was only oatmeal, and rye) a year ago, and then now am against grains (yes, after not having been better in my life). Below, the antigrain is me, the other are a mix of four people

“grains are necessary”
“why no switch grains with colored veggies”
“Grains are necessary”.

“Look, humans have been eating animals, fruit and veggies for 4.990.000 years, and grains only for the last 10.000 years”
“So?”
“The human body does not recognize grains”
“but there are vitamins in grains”
“The human body does not recognize grains”
“It does, I eat it”
“Damn, the human digestive system is closer to a lions than a cow’s”
“there are gorillas also”
“yea, look at the intelligence of gorillaz.. Asnwer my statemen about 5 million years of evolution vs 10k years”
“We dont know much about the 5 million”
“We know about the ten thousand… Look at the bones of people before farming and after”
“It is not only food. Those older people were hunting and making wars. they were exercising”
“Yea, and the farmers were not? you know grain does not grow by taking a dump on soil, does it”
“but the older people died at thirty”
“Yes, when you broke an arm, you died. now you walk and buy your food from the market with your other arm”
“Prove”
“What do i prove to you? That the bones of the people of no farming were stronger healthier than the farmer’s at the same age”
“Bone does not say all. how many bones you look at? What about the other bones in the body?”

“Look there are studies that show a natural higher sat fat diet is better for your heart than the 60% processed carb diet that is being advertised. ”
“How reliable are thoe studies?”
“Fuck. How reliable are the studies that show sat fat is bad, when it has been shown they were done with trans fats?”
“But for years it has been shown that is the connection”
“For years they have used trans fats”
“Sat fat is sat fat, trans or no trans.

One effing hour of this.

You know, Richard, I am with you.

EFF YOU!

I am the one who did not get sick in a year except one day of fever where I slept the whole day, you people are sick for a week in a month, your kid will soon need a new lung, because she is sick half the time, and you tell me “I will not tell my kid not to eat sugar”.

EFF YOU!

You are not willing to see that preventive medicine is different than trauma medicine, and that if we did not have the medicine technology of today, the average lifespan would be nowhere close to the 70 number we have today…?

EFF YOU!

Ridiculing me because I claim that something that is foreign to our body in it natural form is damaging, or at least compromising the function of our body

EFF YOU!

Looking at me in a belittling way and asking me “But would not four tablets of vitamin d be overdosing and dangerous to me”, while gorging on that colorful candy box..

EFF YOU!

When I say “look, the only way to know what I am talking about is to try it for a month. See if you get sick, if your skin changes, how your mantality changes, how your sexuality, strength, stamina, sleeping changes. If it goes worse then blame me”

You give me the example:

“Well you’d feel also good of you would use heroin and kokain for a month”

TRIPLE EFF YOU!

I have had friends listen to the paleo principles, and their life has changed. No skin problems, easy weightloss, better physical mental function.

Those are on their way to a better life,

The ones ridiculing me,

EFF YOU!

I am 6 years older, but look younger. I am older, am less sick.

do not expect chicken soup from me, when you have fever.

Eat your pasta with ready made sauce.

I will eat my nuts and my pears, after a lamb’s leg, and sing, “Siiiinging in the rain, I’m siiinging in the rain”

Your faithful reader,

In both cases, there are precious few people who are illuminating the truth. In both cases, the evidence is plain for all to see. In both cases, all one has to do is simple experimentation on oneself, rather than someone else, to determine the truth of the thing at hand.

Slightly off-topic, this phrase you used pinged a memory for me:

“intellectual masturbator”

Mark Scott here in Detroit used that term during one of his radio broadcasts many years ago. Sadly, death took Mark from us far too soon: http://tinyurl.com/6b2rzq

Another memorable quote:
Ma’am, you need an epistemological house-cleaning.

There are some videos on YouTube of his speech at Gunstock in Mt. Clemens, MI in 1995:

Anyway, thank you very much for all your blogwork. And thanks for steering me to paleo when you transmogrified your blog from HonestyLog to FreeTheAnimal.

“They call Lenny Bruce a sick comic, and sick he is. Sick of all the pretentious phoniness of a generation that makes his vicious humor meaningful. He is a rebel, but not without a cause, for there are shirts that need un-stuffing, egos that need deflating. Sometimes you feel guilty laughing at some of Lenny’s mordant jabs, but that disappears a second later when your inner voice tells you with pleased surprise, ‘but that’s true.’” -Herb Caen, SF Chronicle, 1959
