Day 25 Perfect Diet

After 55 years of reading about health, I have come to the same conclusion that I did when I was 14: fruit and starchless vegetables. Last night rereading Pritikin I blanched at the diet's concession to our societal norms. Meat, but just a quarter pound a day, to stave off the B-12 deficiency that may occur in ten or twelve years. Milk, cheese, etc. but just the highly de-fatted products. Why? Because it is fun? No it is the continuing tribal obession mothers have to see their kids are well fed. That nutritional concern has morphed into a fast-food, vitamin deficient, obese nightmare.

Speaking of protein (meat above)I mix tahini(liquified semame seeds) with small amounts of organic honey and organic vanilla for energy and protein. In WWII,Turkish pilots could stay engaged in dogfights for up to four hours whereas Americans were pooped in one. The Turks ascribed their energy and strength to eating sesame seed products. Who knew?
