Hi all, I'm Marnix from Belgium, and I've been lurking on your Paleo List for about a week now. I too became interested in the "basic food requirement" for men, after seeing that our dogs do so well on BARF. We always have been very careful in what we ate (always bio-products), and we wanted the same for our dogs. So we banned commercial dog foods and via home cooked food we got into BARF about a month ago. And you should see them! They are an example of how a healthy dog should look and act! This made me think and search for a "human" variant of BARF. And this is how I subscribed to your Paleo-List. I'm gently decreasing grains and diary and I've increased raw veggies and fruits. After only one week I may say that I already feel fitter. I've always been quite healthy, but I think Paleo is the way people are ment to eat. Soon I will buy Ray's book (I've found a Belgian e-bookstore where they sell it) and together with what I'm learning on this list I will try to optimise my "eat-behavior". Marnix
