57. It is unfortunately corporate money and it is the rot in our society

We have been modified paleo (we do raw dairy and butter) for almost a decade and when we are the most vigilant, I feel superhuman. After two weeks of eating very clean, my workouts double and I never konk out, just know when I'm done. My partner who is a soda addict, dropped Coke and lost 30 pounds in one month. I've never had a cavity, but my partner used to have several a year and had moved on to root canals; since switching diet, no cavities in this house.

Taubes is good, and the Why We Get Fat is an easier read for laypeople and connects the dots more easily. But I do have to say the most convincing, amazing book I have ever read on nutrition was Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston A. Price. I been yelled at on this board for recommending the book, but he actually doesn't have recommendations, only observations. But the evidence speaks for itself and if you've read anything about evolutionary nutrition, it all makes perfect sense.

It's amazing to see people on DU with more curiosity and knowledge. Nutritional discussions on this board are abysmal in general. I've been told, "It doesn't matter what we eat." And, "We're basically garbage disposals" numerous times. It seems as though the loudest, snarkiest people are usually the most uninformed.
