It's the "The low fat, whole foods, AMPLE calories diets" you mentioned that kept my blood glucose up for so long. I listened to experts such as yourself for so many years that I now have LOTS of autoimmune issues to keep me busy. Just a comment to Scottie D…

In Lierre Keith's book, she points out that this practice is only about fifty years old, and it can be changed-by us. Get as much meat as possible from local farmers, cowpool -- with other families to buy a half side of beef. Become a locavore and then become vocal on your local city websites about what you're doing and why. Tweet your friends, state and fed reps, the corporations themselves, anybody you can think of. To avoid eating meat and feeding meet to your children because of factory farming is just wrong. I'm lucky to live in a state with so much variety that none of the above is hard. Please, just try to do some of it. Why all this passivity about factory farming? In Lierre Keith’s book, she points out that this practice is only about fifty years old, and it can be changed-by us.

(I can no longer support our abominable treatment of factory-farmed animals, or the fossil fuel consumption required to seek out the "humane" alternatives... So that leaves me w/fish, eggs, & dairy!)

This is hopeful... Vegetarians can easily eat low carb if they eat fish, eggs/dairy. Now can a vegan do it without eating soy? I'm racking my brain, and thinking not. However, if someone is a vegan for "humanitarian & ecological purposes" then eating soy could be worth the risks associated...besides they think it's healthy and safe anyway. I enjoyed Rose Eliot's low carb for vegetarians book, which also has mods in her recipes for vegan use (not that I care, personally I think Veganism is a self-loathing way of existence, right up there with self-flagellation). While I'm not a vegetarian by any stretch, I hoped my mother would get inspiration from it. Living low carb is simply about getting the ratios right -- lots of rich fat sources like coconut fat, olive oil and nut oils that could be a base for a vegetarian or vegan diet.

But you just keep sharing the truth and eventually you hope it will sink in. I run into this all the time, Eva! But you just keep sharing the truth and eventually you hope it will sink in.
