What it's all about.



Some time ago, around a year, I posted an item re. the birth of our youngest grandchild. Her name is Amelia and she arrived unexpectedly early and was delivered by her father at home. The story made the front page of the local paper. Here she is one year on. Like all our grand children she is a lowcarber. Not down to my level of 50 carbs a day, but sweets, crisps and fizzy drinks are a very occasional treat. All her meals are made by her parents from fresh meat, fish, eggs and cheese, with the bulk of her food being fresh vegetables. Mixed fruit is also a daily food. The only liquids are formula milk and water. I think you will agree, she is doing very well on a diet, that is not based on sugar, starch and junk.

I come from a family of four generations of type two diabetics. We are doing our utmost to try to end diabetes with our grandchildren’s generation. We have six kids (all grown up) and five grandchildren. I have not been able to convert all our kids to the lowcarb lifestyle, but here’s the strange thing, as I said earlier, all their kids are lowcarbers, think about that. They want to give, like all parents, their kids the best start in life, and they know sugar, starch and junk must be avoided.

Eddie she is absolutely gorgeous. And you can tell she's eating well just by looking at her face. It's nice and round and wide.

One of the things that my aunt commented on when she visited Canada from the old country is how ugly babies here were. She said they had long narrow faces. Just like Weston Price stated in his books, the poorer the diet the narrower the jaws, crowded teeth and problems with sinuses.

Thank you for your very kind words. I have read Weston Price and he talks of the ‘primitive peoples’ and their lack of cancer, heart disease and diabetes. They were very strong and tough people thriving in very tough conditions. A terrible example are the Australian Aboriginal people, who survived for hundreds of thousands of years, perhaps millions in the toughest of conditions. Until the white man turned up. Within a short time they were reduced to physical and mental wrecks. Price also talks of the lack of mental homes and prisons. People looked after the weak and if you tried to harm a mans woman or children he probably killed you, sounds fair to me.
