(This is a woman who must weigh 250 pounds at 5' O' in height, claiming that her carb "cravings" were healthy). Actually, she got pretty defensive when I told her what I eat and don't eat. I just smiled and said, "well, you've got to stick with what works for you". LOL : x Thanks again, Kim << UNNATURAL SELECTION, which is why we Neanderthals eat less fruit than our ancestors. POTATOS ARE LETHAL RAW, but modern agricultural strains have had most of the lethality bread out of them. Now, only the eyes have high concentrations of toxins. Low concentrations still exist throughout the spud. You could eat a raw modern agricultural farm variaty potato, but a wild one would kill you dead.>>
