AND I'm attaching Diana's blog. Of particular interest to me as I'm a BIGGER advocate of the "balance" theory and have either organic beef or pork once or twice a week (usually 2 fish, 2 vegetarian and 2 beef/pork a week and leftovers thereafter) and she is NOW advocating organic beef due to the high amount of Omega 3 (See Oct. 18th entry). I'm a true blue Flexitarian who happens to eat a LOT of whole fruits and veggies and tends to believe that it's the "processing" of food (all the prepak food isn't even what is SAYS), our HUGE caloric intake (super size this, that and the other) AND our sedentary lifestyle (I think of BOTH my grandmothers who lived to be 91 and while neither one was particulary "svelt"...actually the one was a LARGE burly German woman...they both were born in a time (1892 and 1902) where you COOKED your food, CLEANED your house (sorry, but I can't help believing that all the "conveniences" to make our life easier has come with a price) and worked outside (i.e gardening, farming, building etc.). Also, another thought provoking book is the Omnivores Dilema...heavy, but interesting reading. Take care.
