Not sure if it has anything to do with blood type and diet but a lot of the research I've done says that most people can't consume legumes unless properly soaked first because of how hard they are to digest. Some legumes I can't eat at all because I can't digest them properly, like cashews. Certain beans I am ok with though. Have you researched the Weston Price diet?

peanuts are a BITCH on my stomach (and, um, further on down the, um.......line.....heh hem).

cashews are fine.

I gotta find something that will work for me. I'm a fat mess and I want to be in better shape for myself and for my kids. I want to get away from processed foods, but by the end of the day I'm so bloody lazy I just grab pizza pops or fucking tv dinners out of the fridge instead of making myself a decent lunch for the following day. then after I eat that shit at work I down a gallon of water because of all the sodium. if we have enough, I usually bring leftovers, but with my daughter on steroids for her colitis flare, she's eating everything in the house. But I also hate microwaves (I worry about what they do to food on the molecular level) and at my work they won't allow toaster ovens for reheating food.

I eat chips and dips and drink loads of pepsi with my canadian whiskey.

I drink about 4 giant mugs of coffee with white death (Coffee Mate) and sugar in each one every morning.

if i could turn this around it could be the basis of a tv show.

I am just in awe of this sweeping judgement. how fucking dare you.

HFD...I hope you saw what he wrote to you. I believe it came from a kind place, without judgment.

(not meant to speak for you, rr - just needed to speak to this)

Anyway, I think you're both decent men.

did you read my prior post?

I did not see it until now. But the effect of the original post remains the same, regardless of the backtracking.

carry on.

No Riotgrl I have not.Whats the basis?

It is focused on eating non-processed foods with huge emphasis on consuming the entire animal. Lots of bone broths, eating organ meats, and consuming healthy fats. The use of fermented foods is another biggie. It is different than Paleo because it encourages eating legumes, nuts, etc. but that they are properly soaked to break them down prior to eating. It has been a life changer for my health!

I hope you know that you shouldn't eat brains AT ALL! Prions are about as insidious as it gets, and eating brain or spinal tissue is the only way you are likely to contract a Spongiform Encephalopathy.
Diets high in offal can also precipitate gout, and those who are sensitive to uric acid should avoid offal entirely.

I did a google search on "eating organ meat" and the top results were all hippy-dippy pro-Paleo sites encouraging people to eat more organs. I read through a few and, while they did counter the Vitamin A problem (without properly stating the opposing viewpoint) none of them addressed prions or gout. That is very troubling to me, and a sign of pseudo-science at work.

Most organ meats that are referenced are liver and heart. I think both of those organ meats have been eaten for a very long time and I think there are very few concerns with eating either of those organs, in moderation. In terms of sensitivity to uric acid certain legumes can cause issues within sensitive individuals as well as the consumption of organs like liver.

I think the real problem is that most people don't understand their own food sensitivities and often eat foods that are not good for them. We are each individuals and what is sensitive for you may not be for me. Eating brains is not something that I am interested in consuming but I think warning people away from all organ meats is counterproductive considering the vast majority of unhealthy foods consumed by the average American which cause a whole host or problems and illnesses.

I would also say that I, personally, would never consume any organ meat from a factory farm. I would, and have, consumed the organ meat of animals raised in more sustainable ways. I think the most important thing is for people to research the cost/benefit ratio of any eating style rather than just assuming that an item is healthy.
