Quote: I figure until we fix our health issues we cannot fix the health care cost issues. A high portion of our health issues are food related but no one wants to talk about it!! Heart attacks, arthroschlerosis, diabetes II, gout, and too many more to list here are all based on foods (clearly tied to diet). I have a friend that has 2 kids with allergy issues, and they eat fast food all the time or out of cans. 3 times I have suggested looking at the diet- she justifies the eating because they are so busy . . . .

Nothing faster than grabbing a cheese stick or an orange or an apple. My kids can fix a salad and down it in less than 10 minutes. Love the independence.

Sugar is a strange chemical--- my understanding is that it feeds cancer cells especially in the colon. Had my endoscopy long before 50 due to genetic testing results-- and have lots of questions for the doctor now that I am better informed. He only mentioned eating more fiber-- I'm planning to hit him up on the sugar. He better know the answer as he is at a teaching hospital!! OTherwise sugar and carbs are very inflammatory-- my arthritis flares up after a couple days of junk food eating. . . . .

Just for clarity not all carbs are bad We do need to consume whole foods with all the micronutrients and high anti oxidents etc. Nuts, berries, lots of low carb vegetables and a small portion of grains and starchy vegies. Hmmmm. just like Oz's meal!!!!

THe marans might be different than the pene. THe marans has a painted coating on the outside that rubs off, perhaps pene are different. I have an unknown hen that lays a very dark shelled eggs ( for a typical brown egg layer) and it is not a coating.

Oz- I thought that first picture- "Charcoal roasted oriental egg plants then dipped in egg and then pan fried in olive oil"...was some sort of bird, flattened out and batter fried.

There is just no telling what one might find on their plate in the Orient
