Jan. 27th, 2012 08:13 amAnother list today, my Nutrition one. I guess it was inevitable. These lists attract Food Faddists and unfortunately, I've dealt with them since the Summer of the Bicentennial. I've seen "Miracle Foods/Cuisines/Supplements/etc" come and go (I've been through two periods when Kombucha was "It" for example;>), so I tend to be a bit cynical, esp. when I've seen it come and go before. Of course, since I did, that means I'm Old and therefore "Close-minded".
Truth is, I usually know more than the participants so there isn't much in it for me personally(though I did learn how to make my own Kefir, which is neat) and since my Age automatically discounts my advice or corrections(like them using "Western" to mean European, then tout European foods as "Eastern" because appearantly Eastern Europe ISN'T).
Less Stress for me anyway...
Cheers,
Me
