I was surprised how quickly I felt better after I cut out the starches (which handily eliminated gluten too). I hope you are able to source some fresh fruits and veggies in Newfoundland. I’m sure you can get root veggies like beets, carrots, turnips, etc. though. They’re quite inexpensive and good for you too!

very cool that you went out to a farm like that And just think if that’s a quarter cow, and in western civilization we only consume about 60% of the cow, how much is left over!! (this is why there’s rendering plants…)

I’m starting to get back into paying more attention to what I eat – I do do better if there’s less gluten in my diet, but I got really busy/lazy with vet school Unfortunately Newfoundland is probably one of the hardest places in Canada to do this… especially on the fresh fruits and vegetables side of things :S And I’m fairly certain I won’t be finding any beef farms to get large orders from… at least not on this side of the province! (very minimal agriculture)

It’s probably because I spent an hour and a half editing this blog entry

holy crap that’s a lot of meat.
and very interesting story. I always hear about the whole antibiotics issue but never understood where it comes from, now I do. You were able to make it much clearer in this short entry than Food Inc. did in an hour and a half of edited footage. heh

Thanks for including the video with your blog post. I am fascinated by the nutrition and diet and am always looking to understand where food comes from and the care involved in growing what we consume.

Having known you for many years now, it has been amazing to witness the transformation you have personally gone through as you have changed your diet.

Cheers to thriving health for all!
