An excellent argument for the virtues of an
all-around diet is Nutrition and Physical
Degeneration by Weston A Price, a dentist,
past president of the American Dental Association,
and world traveler. In the 30's he visited indigenous
peoples around the world, studying their teeth, their
diet, and overall health. He also noted the health
of the same genetic & cultural peoples in nearby
villages with access to trading posts.... and processed
food. (Yes, there is a Weston A Price Foundation
website)

Bill Mollison was once asked what kind of diet he
preferred. His reply: "I don't eat factory food."
Sums it up nicely!

One Love,

John

You can find the Price foundation site at http://www.WestonAPrice.org/splash_2.htm

I had the pleasure of seeing Sally Fallon at the WI grazing conference for a full day this year. I'm pretty well satisfied that they have nailed down both anecdotal and scientific bases for an animal rich diet, and I know it can be done sustain ably on most of the planet. Check the site out, even if you are vegan as there is a large section on fermented foods.
