X-Message-Number: 20489 From: "Mark Plus" <> Subject: Kurzweil's diet Date: Sat, 23 Nov 2002 23:28:36 -0800 Based on the accounts I've read of Ray Kurzweil's diet, it sounds to me as if he's yet another guy trying to reinvent Paleolithic nutrition, based as it was on high-protein, low-glycemic foods rich in Omega 3 fatty acids. The problem is, our agriculturally modified crops & livestock have been compromised in some bad ways, so adhering to such a diet from store-bought foods is difficult, if not impossible. Wild fish populations in the oceans are being depleted, while American deer & elk populations are now suspect because a lot of them are infected with spongiform encephalopathy -- known as mad cow disease in cattle, and Creuzfeld-Jakob disease in humans. And where could they have gotten infected, if not from domestic cattle who share their grazing grounds? What's a hunter-gatherer to do? Mark Plus It's not "religious" or "science fictional" if you can do it. _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=20489
