Hi, Debbie, welcome to the list.  I've spent a lot of summers on an island
off Perry Sound and I love your beautiful Ontario.

I think the "balanced diet" question will be solved when you read "The Paleo
Diet" by Dr. Loren Cordain.  The archives to this list will probably also
contain information that can help you.

Quoting from "The Paleo Diet":  "My research team and I have found that
ideally, a little more than half - 55% - of your calories should come from
lean meats, organ meats, fish and seafood.  The balance should come from
fresh fruits and vegetables, some nuts, and healthful oils."
