Fatten the livestock?
Unless this is your first read of our blog, you probably know what we think about food and what we should eat to be healthy and lean. I ran across an interesting blurb from a 200 year old book while surfing around. Seems that even 200 years ago, some were on to the idea of what really causes obesity. Fatten the livestock with corn and grains....
"Now, an antifat diet is based on the commonest and most active cause of obesity, since, as it has already been clearly shown, it is only because of grains and starches that fatty congestion can occur, as much in a man as in the animals; this effect . . . plays a large part in the commerce of fattened beasts for our markets, and it can be deduced, as an exact consequence, that a more or less rigid abstinence from everything that is starchy or floury will lead to a lessening of weight."
--Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, from "Preventative or Curative Treatment of Obesity" (published in 1825)

Wait. So you’re saying if I stop eating grains and starches, I’ll lose weight, feel better, look better (naked and in clothes), have more energy, live longer, feel better, and did I say live longer?
Novak Djokovic, the world’s #2 men’s tennis player, recently went gluten-free. Read about it here: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703509104576327624238594818.html
His gluten-free diet was a huge foundation in his ability to go on a 43-0 win streak dating back to November 2010.

Unquestionably believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the net the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people think about worries that they plainly don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
