When I was little my mom, a hippie and one time vegetarian, always made sure she bought whole wheat bread, and sweets were kept to a super minimum. I mean, we had cookies maybe once a month, and candy only on halloween (sometimes) and easter. other things, like pudding, were only for special day desserts. I remember how exciting it was once when we made blackberry pie out of gathered blackberries. Even the crackers she gave us were healthy. Also, we eat only chicken and fish, rarely beef . At one point we grew almost all our vegetables, but when they closed down the community garden we were limited to what we could grow at home or on the porch (tomatoes, spinach, peppers, peas, carrots, and herbs.) We used to grow corn, eggplants, and squash as well.

Take a probiotic with over 10billion organisms and multiple strains, and drink danactive daily and eat fiber (fruits, veggies, flax, whole grains) eat real bread make sure it isn’t full of High fructose corn syrup, as most are even “wheat”.

Future research: looking at diets high and low in specific factors, not just general low-cal/high-fiber vs high cal/sugar/fat/protein. It would be interesting to see how low calorie vegetarian diets compare to low calorie high protein diets.

Damn, I’m boned. Sure, I eat a great diet now, for the most part, but my mom likes to joke she raised me on the four food groups, McDonalds, Taco Bell, Jack in the Box and candy….

At least I was breast fed, otherwise I’d probably be lookin like the stay puft marshmallow man at this point.

Holy Crap people! Now were even falling behind in our ability to be a hospitable environment to symbiotic organisms, who knew we’d look back on our failings in math and science as “the good old days.”
