Guest guest Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Grains are not meant for the human body. A great book to buy and read is " Grain Damage " , rethinking the high starch diet by Douglas N. Graham, D.C. The grain-free diet is not radical, it is ultra conservative. veggiehound <veggiehound wrote: This from another group just this morning. Worth checking out.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 What's even better than eating whole grains, is grinding your own from the natural berries..... not to mention doubling the flavor. Store bought grains don't have the oils that are natural to the process because oils cause the grains to rancid giving a much shorter shelf life.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 > Grains are not meant for the human body. Truly? ;=) Then that must really be a disappointment to you, eh, considering your favourite foods, as expressed yesterday, are >Thai food with tofu and the Salsbury Seitan from > Real Foods Daily in California. Also, Uncle Eddies > Vegan Cookies from Glendale, CA. Thai food uses rice or noodles, seitan is from wheat, and goodness knows what Uncle Eddie might put in his cookies LOL but I suspect some kind of grain . . . Commiserations on having had to give up all your favourites. Never mind, have a turnip. Frankly, I suspect this campaign is retaliation against the low-carb diets, don't you?

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 What do you use to grind your grains, Tom? And do you just grind enough for one time - I'd guess so, so that they'd always be fresh. I can only fantasize about the flavour . . .

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 I do eat grains. I would like to eventually get off of them, will be very hard to do though. Hard to do after being brought up that way. I think this book makes a lot of good points. veggiehound <veggiehound wrote: > Grains are not meant for the human body.

Hard to do after being brought up that way. Hmmmm. Well, you could try reading a different book ;=) >I think this book makes a lot of good points. Haven't read it. Saw a promotion for it on the net that started with someone saying that in Chinese 'fast' meant literally to avoid grain - and that was enough to make me laugh. It does, of course, or at least means not to 'eat rice' - that is not to have a meal - but . . . LOL Okay, I'm over that giggle now. I'll check the site out again later ;=) Best, Pat ;=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 How awesome. Where do you live, Tom? I'd like to invite myself over for dinner. That's a bit more than I want to do each evening in this madhouse.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 I have the Champion Juicer that I've used for years to juice vegetables with. I believe this cost me about $180 about 5 years ago. Champion also sells a grain mill attachment for $78. This is what I use to make whole wheat flour. I buy a 5 gallon bucket of Red Wheat for about $20. When you grind one cup wheat berries it generally will give you a little less than 2 cups of flour. There are other types of grain mills that use stone instead of stainless steel which I guess may be better. Its not a very high speed grinder so that's a big plus in the fact that during the grinding process the flour is not heated up as much as a faster mill. Bottom line is in about 10 minutes of my time I can bake a loaf of bread in my bread machine from start to clean up. My bread is as light as any you buy off the shelf at a grocery store. I'd just guess the cost is probably less than 25 cents a loaf I will generally grind at one time about 8 to 10 cups at a time and then refrigerate it so it naturally stays pretty fresh.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 God should have known better than to tell humans to eat grains in the Garden. ....... although it does sound sort of funny to say that Jesus is the vegetable of life...... :-) Beth [elmothree2000] Wednesday, February 09, 2005 10:16 PM Re: Grain Campaign You have GOT to be kidding. , Charles Williams <cfwsooners> wrote: > > Grains are not meant for the human body. > > A great book to buy and read is " Grain Damage " , rethinking the high starch diet by Douglas N.

And it *is* a neat trick. The bread must be wonderful! I'm not there yet, I'm afraid. We don't use a lot of bread, so it hasn't arisen, so to speak ;=) I buy organic wholewheat flour - but dogonlyknows how long ago someone or something ground it up.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 I am lucky enough to have an underused Vita-Mix machine, which can be used to grind grains. It is also billed as a whole juice juicer. It grinds/pulverizes but does not get rid of the pulp. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ from Maida.
