Today, a hot day in August, I had a nice dessert awaiting me in my lunch cooler.. (see to the left!) It was a mix of frozen (this morning) raspberries and blueberries. Just about a 1/2 handful of each, in a little tupperware container, but- and this is crucial!-topped with a healthy dollop of real, unhomogenized whipped cream, sweetened with cinammon! Ironically, it appears that full fat dairy is much better for you than skim, which in the old days was used as pig food; in other words not nutritious enough to use on humans! The satiety factor of using just a little whipped cream (or butter, or coconut milk) is HUGE- You are satisfied, and NOT hungry, for hours afterwards. Not to mention, the food value of the berries involved is HUGE, and the insulin response is minimal in such a dessert. "But Jay", I hear you asking, politely, "Who cares about insulin?" Well, I answer politely, you should! For many years, saturated fat has been implicated by the "authorities...

I have had great results from the Barbarian/Paleo diet/ lifestyle! As have those around me: BUT, I am concerned about the USDA recent food pyramid, that recommends (drum roll!) that 60% of your diet be CARBOHYDRATES!! This is sick, sad, and just a way to sell out to organized agricultural food product manufacturers... There, I've said it. If a caveman dropped by your "pad", and saw your Pizza, doritos, and maybe a twinkie for dessert... HE WOULD NOT recognize any of the above as even being FOOD! The bottom line? Just eat: Lean meats Seafood (sardines are ideal!) vegetables (whipped up in the vitamix along with your Fruits! is ideal! Grains, especially wheat, rye and barley are VERBOTEN!! Anti nutrients galore- leading to a cascade of hormones that violate your gut, and invade your bloodstream... NO ONE needs this!! Who wants the options of PROSTATE CANCER, arthritis, BALDNESS, heart disease, and the endless litany of all the diseases that Syndrome X, the diseases of mode...
