ER4YT-O Re: how much fat?–Thanks Axel! –an afte
I was beginning to grow a little frustrated when I read your first post on
December 15, Lisa of daisycullen2000! When you said “extreme” it really hit me.
I mean, given that we as a species in our evolution have been eating a diet
virtually devoid of grains and most other forms of concentrated carbohydrates
(look to the Hub in the links I recently compiled) for the last… oh, 2.5
million years or so! Gee, all this literature about the dangers of
carbohydrates… I mean, if any of the macronutrients is to be labeled the
“villain” then it simply must be carbs. Take a look around! The neolithic
revolution (look at www.beyondveg.com) is a blink of an eye, from an
evolutionary point of view. We have been eating whatever animal flesh we can
find and assorted low-carb veggies, insects, fruits in regions where available,
berries, tubers, roots, and of course nuts and seeds for millions of years, and
if you look at the later few stages of our primate’s evolutions (the line
leading up to homo sapiens sapiens) you will see that animal flesh, and
principally red-meat accounted for at times over half of the calories in the
diet! And there are indigeneous people that still exist today (until Microsoft
gets their hooks in) who eat a diet that is considered based on animal flesh.
And what are their health statistics? You like sanity? You like truth? Take a
look at the interview with Ward Nicholson at www.beyondveg.com That interview,
so long and so sweet, is probably the most thorough account of what we are,
species-wise. And Dr. D’Adamo is in obvious support of the information at
www.beyondveg.com I feel for you, it might feel weird. For over a year I was
conditioned to feel that meat, and especially red meat was the enemy, to feel
scared of it, and especially something like beef lard! Un-fucking-believable. I
had Dr. D’s CR4YT before I even began vegetarianism! Reading book after book
after book… John Robbins’ “Diet for a New America”, “Diet for a Small World”
(forgot author’s name) and Gabriel Cousens’ “Conscious Eating” if I must name
names were some of the literature that comes to mind. I take this stuff
seriously, health and diet, and spirituality too, these topics are serious,
extremely important things to learn about! So I really immersed myself into this
world of food-obsession. And what did I find out? The Truth. Months of reading,
becoming personally indoctrinated into the opposition’s argument, their
point-of-view and the gradual deterioration in my personal health, my body, my
brain, my MIND disabled my ability to feel my own inner truths, it disrupted my
brain/mind’s ability to make appropriate judgements and decisions for myself.
The truth, especially for those with the simplest and oldest blood-type, lies in
our past. If you don’t have a grasp of what evolution is, how animals develop
within their natural environment and change and differentiate to fit into their
niche in the natural world than THATS where to begin, then you can learn about
what the “paleoithic” diet is. This is the Truth. No joke. So, I was very
relieved to read your follow-up messge a scant 31 minutes later! What a relief!
I hope you read every web site I mention there, if you can. It’s a lot, I know,
but I’ve already done the work for you, finding the goodies from the internet.
The biggest problem I’ve had is seperating the crap and incomplete from the
quality, there is no dearth of information on the information super-highway! I
just want to boost everyone’s self-education, there is way too much stupidity
out there, and we are not really to blame, it’s the people who continue to push
the unsubstantiated erroneous information who are ignorant, and that’s what it
is primarily: ignorance. Avidya. Not good. The truth is surprising.
