it's like anything.. when your sick and tired of being sick and tired you take action. but some of us never make it there. i suggested to a friend who is always on a diet and exercise and his wife watches what he eats very closely.. that he give up wheat.. wow, he exploded in laughter,, NEVER>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.! so his pot belly sticks out,, his bp is high. he has lost some weight but certainly not in good physical shape. bills thread compose of those who are now ready to get serious. in my case decades of not having any interest in diet or vit. However, i have immediate needs to get more strength and energy as a caregiver. I have so much energy now it is amazing. ps i do have a brownie a day at lunch time.. oh oh.. I made two dozen on Friday.

Thought you might be interested... Want to have a say in the next round of Dietary Guidelines? Think the Food Pyramid is a crock? Think the government's dietary recommendations are overly influenced by food commodity and other commercial interests? Now's your chance to put in your two cents' worth. A panel of scientists is now considering what changes should be made in the most recent set (2005) of Dietary Guidelines for Americans for the upcoming 2010 recommendations. They've invited the public to comment--but few are aware that this is going on. Who's commenting? Professional groups, independent researchers, health policy agencies, and LOTS of food commodity and industry groups. You can read the comments that have been submitted (and/or submit your own) at the USDA website. See also this related story from the L.A. Times.
