Dori - That part was from Amadeus - I completely agree with you. It
was probably confusing to figure out who said what, but I was
complaining about how poorly I did on a low-fat, high carb,
vegetarian eating plan. I believe in the neanderthin plan and sure
feel a hell of a lot better than when I'm eating lots of carbs, even
if they're whole wheat instead of wonder bread and carrot cake
instead of twinkies. Seems to be all the same to my body.
