Hi Drew,
Excellent point. You are entirely correct.
I say let the market dictate what we buy. We vote with our dollar for who we want to succeed.
As more and more of us get Diabetes, the demand will shift. Your odds are now one out of six you will get diabetes -- perhaps one out of three in the near future.
Also, the diet industry has discovered that carbs are what makes you fat. (You piss and blow out excess keytones [fat]. They are use or lose.)
So, the market will eventually do its magic. There will be a lot of kicking and screaming though.
"Healthy carbs", my ass. You should see the crap those scoundrel's at the American Diabetes Association wants you to eat -- you'd be diabetic forever!
Carbs are so addictive that I know of one diabetic man who killed himself rather than stop eating them. He was eventually crippled to the point were his wife had to give him his insulin injections.
I know of another man who has lost both his legs, both his kidneys (he is on the transplant list), has had a major heart attack, is on oxygen, and who know what else. He won't stop eating carbs.
Amaranth is still a grain by the way. Feed all the the grain producing plants (the whole plant) to cows. I will eat the cows.
I vote for good tasting produce and meat.
As long as freedom is allowed to prevail, the market will provide what we demand. I see both being around for a very long time. If you are in the five out of six that won't get diabetes, then by all means, have fun.
