Yeah well you're right on that. Diet stuff is not recognised by the medical profession as there ain't much incentive here....Standard nutrition "experts" just spout a line that pretty much hasn't changed in decades...X amount of carbs, four food groups,etc...Probably more good outa the box stuff here than on many subjects...Books like "eat 4 your type" are the only source of innovative thinking.Still ya gotta sort the wheat from the chaf as lotsa BS out there as well.I think the best book I ever read wuz "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration" by Price.

Mendocino County (CA) has passed a ballot initiative making it the first county in the U.S. to ban genetically engineered crops and animals. <This is an important and precedent-setting victory for farmers and consumers, particularly given the fact that corporate agribusiness and the biotech industry spent over $620,000 attempting to convince citizens to vote against the referendum> < The success of the initiative is already proving to be highly contagious. Humboldt County (CA) claims it's next in line for passing a similar referendum, while farmers in the U.S. Midwest see it as evidence that they may be able to resist the release of Monsanto's new GE wheat.> Considering no one has any idea what the ramifications of GE crops are, this seems slow to me, BWTFDIK.
