Disturbing article

[Guest guest]

I just got my Wise Traditions Winter 2003 and I'm disturbed by the

review of the book " The Truth About Children's Health. " The reviewer

writes:

In his chapter on The Ancestry Factor he even talks about sexual

preference and the biological and physiological reasons for the

propensity towards homosexuality--as appeared in the Pottenger cat

studies.

So...being gay or lesbian is a defect caused by improper nutrition?

Haven't we already tried, and one would hope, abandoned, eugenics?

This idea would just be stupid if it wasn't dangerous. Anyone with a

search engine can, in ten minutes, survey the vast diversity of human

societies and their different approaches to human sexuality, from

socities where same-sex behavior is expected and therefore universal,

to societies like ours where same-sex behvior is taboo and supressed.

Do I really have to say that it has nothing to do with their food?

This country has seen an exposion in degenerative diseases due to

industrialized food, but there aren't any more gay and lesbian people

than there were 50 years ago.

Or forget Pottenger's cats. Let's look at Lierre's backyard. The male

goose has a marked preference for the female duck. The female duck,

for her part, has a serious crush on one of the female geese and it

must be reciprocated as they go at it every night before bedtime.

It's not just same-sex, it's cross-species out there. I've got hens

mounting other hens, and also a pair of lesbian pigeons. Ultimately I

think it's silly to have to even argue about what's " natural " and

what's not--we're human, and have way more complex psychology and

behavior than other animals.

I'm writing to Sally Fallon with my concerns. Is this book

representative of the WAP Foundation's ideas about gays and lesbians?

I'm going to be really depressed if I'm the only one who finds this

disturbing.
