Ny Times Article

This is a wonderful article in the NY Times about what the food industry has done to our food. It all boils down to "If your great-great grandmother didn't serve it, you should not eat it". We have processed, and refined foods so much that many are Unrecognizeable to our digestive tract. No wonder many have Celiac Disease. Great reading, but long.

Well, I definitely agree that's the sort of thinking we should adopt toward food, but I think it doesn't go far enough. I don't really think we're well adapted to many of our neolithic foods. It takes a long, long time to adapt to new foods and I think the few thousand years we've had of eating grains isn't long enough to expect that we've adapted.

What really amazes me is that we're trying to make our pets grain eaters too. They've had even less exposure to them than we have!

Oh! Michael Pollan wrote a good book called "The Omnivore's Dilemma". I highly recommend it.

I like the historic political discussion. Gotta love how that hides behind so much in our country. Capitalism indeed...

Very good article, and it is true foods then are so much better than the junk that is put into them now.

Thank you for posting this article; this is along the lines of what my best friend and I have been saying for years! And most people wonder why they feel so "wonderful"...
