Grains as a food source not good for humans? Hmmm...

[Guest guest]

Ms Pat,

I came across the comment and was a bit puzzled. Considering

Neolithic family and clan groups hanging onto life as " hunter-

gatherers " , I wonder how many would not have survived had it not

been for the more observant members who tried the seeds of plants.

I admire them for their fortitude not having " Old Bay " or " Mrs.

Dash " in there woven reed/bark or leather containers. Looking at

the length of alimentary tracts among herbivores...a nice long

meandering " Missouri River " type...in comparison to carnivores with

a short efficient " grab the nutrients and dump the waste before

toxicity sets in " digestive system one can surmise where we are in

the scale. I drift along in the " Omni " group but find grains very

useful for the energy derived from the oils and goodies in such a

small package. Besides, I really do like the crunchies in any

quality 7 grain style of breads. Plain bread is just so " boring " .

Adding to that, Just look at all the fun things the Russians, Irish,

Canadians, Ancient Egyptians, and our own Kentucky/Tennessee folks

do or have done with fermented grains. A nip of Crown Royal

celebrate a good wheat harvest, anyone? :-)

Yeah well I think ya have to read the pamphlet to get it. There are always

coming out with new theories. If we wait a while this one will go away too, or

that's what I keep telling myself ;=) I have given up sooooo much I am darned

if I am going now to give up whole grains as well LOL (Pig headed? Me?

Well, I'm shocked!)

LOL Quite right! Of course, some prefer their kick to come from grapes. I used

to. Sadly, I've given all that up :=( I tell myself I'm healthier without it and

no

doubt I am. Sigghhhh. But please have my share, won't you. ('s'okay, you're

welcome!)

 

Best, Pat ;=)
