It is a little known fact that the small eggbeaters cartons have only been developed in recent years by selective breeding. The original species was of the quart size, with rare occurrences of the half-gallon, mostly in central Canada.

Ha! Well done.

Today I made my wife eggs and bacon for breakfast. My goal is to have eat every thing on the list of foods to avoid and when she goes back in 6 months and her cholesterol is down I want to be there when she tells them what she ate

I was unaware that plastic could mold

I totally agree. I thought that it was too processed to mould - however maybe the little add-ons, that people seem to have a habit of leaving in the margariene pottle created said mould ?????

PS add-ons are the wee jam or p-nut butter extras left behind !!!!!!

.... so how is margarine "low fat" in any way (unless you have "low fat" margarine)?

That's probably what my mom had in her fridge the last time I was over there. I was too afraid to look at the actual ingerdients, but it was a very large tub and it prodly proclaimed it was "Gluten Free!"

My butter doesn't feel the need to say that.

Actually, doctors have no choice but to recommend what the medical standard is for a healthy diet. My doctor is an excellent doctor, and he has been open to my choice in diet and lifestyle. However, he still tells me that based on my cholesterol numbers, he must recommend statins, even though he and I both know I won't take them.

Those foods won't lower her cholesterol. It will most likely raise it. Primal isn't about lowering cholesterol, it's about (to a certain extent) realizing cholesterol is a good thing.
Also, I don't remember exact stats but, the amount of cholesterol your body actualy absorbs from food is very little

An employee of mine went to his surgeon yesterday and laying on the table were photo copies of the Paleo Diet for the taking. I think it was from Men's Health

I talked to a nurse practitioner this week and she wanted my MD links related to the Paleo diet

Because thinking of two DIFFERENT meals and/or actually cooking is too much to ask?

no, because we like to have pizza too.

it's likely that at the bowling alley, I'll be able to have a salad w/meat because that's easy enough (it's a fairly diverse menu), and then the second night with pizza is the only good pizza in NZ, so we'll go ahead and eat it.

I actually miss pizza. Before I was primal, I ate pizza about once a quarter -- usually wood burning oven baked stuff. Tasty! When we moved to NZ, it was *tragic* how bad the pizza is here. It's TERRIBLE. it's worse than the mexican food, and that's not great. WHAT IS UP WITH KIWIS AND SWEET? yuck.

Anyway, this one place is owned by italians who moved here from napoli, so it tastes really good and authentic. Seeing as I haven't had it in over 1.5 years (we had it to celebrate my friend's return to the US -- so his going away party, his choice), I see no harm in having it.

How is it that they have no choice?

My doctor was an allopathic doctor who prescribed homeopathy and herbalism as his first port of call, and also would offer diet/nutritional protocols in lieu of medication.

I didn't notice that he was ever under any obligation from anyone to give a "party line."
