The theory as outlined in The Primal Blueprint received some more support recently from Dr. David Ludwig, Director of the Optimal Weight for life program at Children's Hospital in Boston. The LA Times reports in this article that Dr. Ludwig has recently published an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association that supports The Primal Blueprint.
Ludwig says that our problems begin well before the advent of TV dinners and high fructose corn syrup. He states that just about every food technology innovation that comes along has basically made our diets worse for wear. His studies tie our decline back to the development of agriculture. The short article is a nice summation of the information contained in The Primal Blueprint.
I won't be eating only raw foods any time soon, but I really dislike the aftertaste of most processed foods, which sends me to the produce table. I'd love a garden, but a- I'd have to stay home to work it, b- I'd need grenades and poison to keep it for myself instead of for the deer and rabbits, and I"m not willing to do that.
ReplyDeleteI looked into a raw food diet at one point. I picked up one of those raw food cookbooks. Everything took so long in a dehydrator that I just couldn't do it.
