Rita,


At least this is a start. The question is "why are so many people either in great pain or need a painkiller to get throught the day?   Maybe someone in authority will actually begin to understand that the food you eat matters and that you wouldn't be in pain if you didn't eat the carb heavy processed food diet they reccomend.  Perhaps some government official might take notice that organic produce and grass fed, pastured animal products are gaining shelf space in supermarkets.  People aren't stupid.  They will spend more to purchase nutritious foods rather than all the CAFO items.  People are discovering that properly raised foods taste better too and that their overall health significantly improves and that their health issues are greatly diminished when they eat food grown the way nature intended. 


Its only been 6 years since Wheat Belly was published.  What a huge change in the way we are thinking about the food we eat and how that food is raised since publication.  Many other thought provoking books and issues have been discussed during this period and almost all have resulted in better health for those who follow the basic principles of a grain and sugar free diet and good quality fats.  As our way of thinking and eating continues to gain traction, perhaps our government will start asking more questions about what is killing Americans.

Hard to believe it's been 6 years since Wheat Belly was published.  Where does the time go?

As our way of thinking and eating continues to gain traction, perhaps our government will start asking more questions about what is killing Americans.

Sadly, government probably already knows.  Hard to do anything with big food, big ag, big pharma, etc. running the show.  Hopefully more people will realize what has happened to our food supply, and start voting with their wallets.
