Greetings,
In re-reading Neanderthin ( now that I have been doing it for some time)
I have a couple of questions that I am unable to clarify.  Perhaps this
group can assist me.

My primary question is regarding flaxseed oil that Ray suggests for
getting more EFA's in your diet.   Is not flax a grain like wheat?  Is
not flaxseed oil pretty much the pinnacle of technologically processed
food?

Another question is regarding root vegetables.  I get the idea with
potatoes but why would a turnip or a beet be taboo?  Both are quite
edible raw and even make a tasty snack.   Is not a carrot the same type
of root veggie?  He says those are OK.

Thank you in advance for any clarification you can offer on this matter.
