It is a fair question. What is the answer?

Very funny, Doug. I am glad your program is working for you. I still don't know whether we would be able to do it. It sounds a little too complicated to us to adjust to. But when your wife posts a recipe we will try it if it doesn't include too many complicated ingredients :)

I am enjoying your blog articles. I like the variety. Something for everyone. I really like the photos!! very good!!

Yeah, what is the answer?

Well, I'd love to have a witty answer, but the truth is that if we were essentially fed nothing but Big Macs the way cows are fed corn grain and prevented from exercising during the "fattening" stage, we'd fatten up, too. Kind of like being tied to a computer for days/weeks on end and fed nothing but corn chips.

But from a dietary point of view, grains provide roughage which keeps things "moving" through our bodies.

There. Not funny, but true.

LOL! FYI, cattle spend 3-4 months in feed lots and gain as much as 450 pounds! Naturally, the meat contains 500% more fat than range fed cattle. So your analogy is pretty accurate.

Nice to hear your program is going so well. I take it you have no regrets?
