The people in Ecuador had the biggest smiles, they also look like vegetarians. I want to go live with them! Italy or Mexico would be my second choices.
The people in Chad (bottom of the page) live on $1.23 a week! It looks like their diet is peas, rice, beans and things used to flavor them. Since they live on grains, I wonder if they have ever tried sprouting them (if they were sproutable like

I don't like AC until it gets dangerously hot. At that point, in a pre-modern era where everyone was a farmer and could set their own hours, everyone would be spending the day down at a creek or river keeping cool, an option we don't have these days.

Checked my e-mail and David Wolfe had sent me an 18 minute talk by Mercola about vitamin D. He talks about how Vitamin D used to be used to cure things but once they put windows in the sanatoriums it stoped working. He also talks like vitamin D is a cure-all.

About low-calorie diets, you'd probably be interested in what Gabriel Cousens says about it in his book Conscious Eating:
- the ideal amount of calories is 1,500 (p 419)
- a Journal recommended that 2.5% of our calories should come from protein (p 312)
- we need less food to get the same amount of nutrition and 1,000 calories may be overeating on a raw diet when "ones basement membra

I think that the best general tip is to cut a ripe pineapple into little chunks and freeze them on a plate so that you can break them off a little bit at a time. Then, every time you make a smoothie add a few chunks of pineapple.

I've read There is a Cure for Diabetes and I'm reading Conscious Eating and I recommend them both. He is a doctor so his books are among the most medical-style raw food books available but not out of reach of the average reader, "comprehensive" is a word that describes all his books well.

So I was watching Larry King Live last night and Jamie Oliver, the Food Network chef from the UK, was on along with American Idol's Ryan Seacrest and they were talking about their new show where they try to get people to eat better foods. They are focusing on school lunches that have less processed foods, and homecooked meals instead of processed foods.
They showed clips from the show where t

As I understand it, fibromyalgia is linked to a B12 deficiency caused by high levels of mercury. The mercury probably comes from silver fillings, and it destroys the cobalt in the B12. A lack of B12 damages the myelin sheath that surrounds and protects nerves. So anything that detoxes mercury and heals the damage should help fibromialgia.
The Sweeds have done a lot of research on B12 and fib

I don't think that yor mail will be irradiated and you can probably tell if it is.
According to this US EPA link the only mail currently being irradiated is mail sent to certain zip codes, this was scaled back from earlier plans to irradiate all mail. You can tell if your mail is irradiated because of the effect it has on paper - it tans it and has other effects - and collectors of old stamps

You don't like all cooked foods so I guarantee that you won't like all raw foods - just find what you like and eat it :-)
