Don and Rachel Matesz <[log in to unmask]>

And now, for something completely different!  Sorry about getting off topic.
 One more question about the taboo topic of philosophy (aka religion):  Is
there a list where people discuss the social, philosophical, moral, aspects
of diet, in particular, Paleo diet? If so, please let me know.  If not, I'll
just channel my energy...

To be on topic, Don and I have found that we sleep much less now than when
we ate vegan and macrobiotic diets.  We typically sleep about 6 hours per
night, sometimes less.  When we ate grain-based diets we had a hard time
staying awake even during the day. Sometimes we'd get verry groggy when
driving a car after lunch.  Scary!  After dinner, one or both of us would
feel very woozy, groggy as early as 7:30 pm.  I'm sure that the researchers
were using people on SAD or MAD (Modern American Diets) which can make
people very woozy!

Re: Raw meat; it's not just good for dogs.  It's good for humans although
getting over the initial fear of it is the biggest hurdle. Socially it may
be unacceptable, but one can certainly do it at home.... and pack raw meat
in a lunch box (if you're willing to answer the "what's THAT?"  some may
query if they see you noshing).  Currently, 80% or more of the meat (as in
red meat, fish, and poultry) we eat is uncooked.  Easy on the cook.  Never
had a stomach upset.
