Hmm, can you elaborate on flourine levels in tea? I've been drinking a good bit of green tea since I stopped drinking coffee.

I keep trying to, but I really don't! It even smells funny to me. I can tolerate some of the lighter olive oils better. I made some mayonaise with the extra-virgin stuff, and I couldn't eat it because it smelled so odd to me. Some quirk of my biochemistry, I guess.

What I REALLY REALLY miss and crave are the salty, cruncy foods -- potato chips, pretzels, stuff like that. I've managed to be very heroic recently and turn down some of my favorite non-paleo foods (banana pudding, Scottish shortbread and Eccles cakes at local the Highland Games last weekend.) The Eccles cakes were particularly hard to resist because I would only find them at Highland Games, and for some reason I just really love them. Also, my dad & my brother thought it would be funny to buy one and eat it in front of me and tease me about it. (Not as mean as it sounds -- actually, it helped strengthen my resolve to stay paleo.)
I look at foods like that with an addict's attitude. I KNOW how addicted I was to those foods. My basic feeling is if I start cheating, I probably won't stop. I have a pretty realistic idea of the strength of my willpower. :-)
God bless anybody who can cheat on a diet and go back to it without ill effects! I just don't think I could.
But boy do I miss potato chips.
