Modern wheat a "perfect, chronic poison," doctor says

155. No. The problem is...

...the fact that we will believe anything that comes out of any idiot's mouth if they have a book about it.

Rationality is not the enemy of anything, but the idea that we need to always act in a way that is presumed "safe" even though every bit of rationality is telling us that the danger is overblown as hell is a slap in rationality's face. Moreover, when "safe" is presumed, but not supported, does it matter if you go left or right at that point?

What we should be ashamed of as a people is that we do not QUESTION people when they make claims provided they come from a place that seems legitimate, no matter how up in the face of reason that claim seems to be. These should be the first ones we SHOULD be calling bullshit on.

I really don't worry that people are soft in the middle, I worry that they are soft in the head.

But, if you are that convinced of the dietary woes, just write a book about it using prophetic language, and not only will you be a millionaire shortly, but you will have a devoted following and be able to hit the talk show circuit. Could be quite lucrative.

Anyway, I am convinced you don't know what you're talking about vis-a-vis dietary woes. It's much simpler. Exercise. Everything else is bullshit. The human body seems able to take in all kinds of crap and turn it into something useful. Not using it is what makes you unhealthy. Agree, disagree, it's got as much support as what you're saying.
