I used to make the fruit roll up for my kids when they were little. My favorite was pear! Just puree the pear (skins, but no core) and add a few drops of lemon juice. It was wonderful!

I used my electric oven at it’s lowest setting and placed it on waxed paper. There was just 1 problem with it….I could only give it to my kids when there were no other kids around! They all loved it and then mine would be upset when it was gone!

One time, as she was getting older, my DD complained that “real” fruit roll ups had fancy shapes they could pop out and eat….so I used metal cookie cutters….just had to be careful not to cut thru all the way!

You’re right, Son of Grok, I’d forgotten about that post, thanks.

Just looked at it again, though, and it doesn’t seem to get into the whole-grains and soy question.

I’m not advocating these foods, nor do I eat them myself — was just curious as to why they were common factors amongst these very long-lived pockets of people (100 years plus) in the world’s “Blue Zones” (http://www.bluezones.com/)

Anne, Mark actually has a post about the healthiest countries in the world that gets into your question quite a bit. It is fairly recent too!

Hi, Mark — LOVE your website and visit it every day — the Primal BluePrint just makes so much sense. My husband and I eat this way and it works very well for us.

However, I just read a book called “The Blue Zones: Lessons For Living Longer From The People Whove Lived The Longest.” It profiles long-lived populations in Okinawa, Cost Rica, and elsewhere.

All eat whole grains and many eat soy. Most diets are also lower in fat.

Placed within the framework of our evolutionary heritage, this doesn’t make sense to me! Can you help?
