Poor Jody,

:-P

You sound as frustrated as we do sometimes, trying to explain

Glenn's dietary options (organic, rotation, SCD/LOD, CF, low

phenol/salicilyte, less IgG reactants - nearly forty of 'em). Lol.

> SCD should be a well-balanced diet utilizing the myriad of

allowable

> fruits and vegetables that are allowed on this diet.

You're so right. There ARE a lot of choices, even with Glenn's

parameters. But I think that a lot of " normal " people can't really

wrap their heads around the idea that kids don't need to eat

prepackaged stuff to be happy.

> SCD is NOT equivalent to Atkins.

> SCD does NOT restrict the QUANTITY of carbohydrates.

> It only restricts carbohydrate choices.

>

It's that last bit - the " choice " aspect I think, that throws

folks off...we're so used to convienence foods - even healthy ones -

that it is easy to forget that fruits and veggies are the origional

fast foods, lol.

We've got a lot of friends in the med field, and they say the

same things you're irritated by. I always ask them if they don't

consider fruits/veggies carbs...and they always say.. " Oh - I forgot

about those! " . Those guys especially oughtta know better, lol.

Please don't become too aggravated over this...there is always

going to be some issue that needs going over ad nauseum; and it is

SO worth it to be able to tweak somebody's perspective a bit.

You all (the die hard listmembers/moderators) do a fabulous job. I

am happy to be on a list where people care so much about what they

do. I hope that 2006 brings good health, healing and a boatload of

patience for all of us. :-)

,

You are right.

Most people when they hear " no convenience foods " they think

starvation diet...LOL.

" No Mc's, no frozen pizzas, no pop or potato chips... my kid

would starve " ....

The truth is that those kids' bodies ARE starving- for real nutrition.

It makes me want to cry to see what people put in their shopping carts

and feed to their kids.

My MIL is a big fan of blogs. I told her that I should start one

called " Jody's Soap Box News " and the first entry would be able

children who are not being fed or given proper exercise and if I wrote

it well, I bet people would be up in ARMS, until they realize that

it's THEIR kids that I'm talking about.

Kids in this country are lab rats to see what happens to a society

when children are malnourished and don't receive appropriate physical

exercise. We don't need outsiders to kill us, we are voluntarily

doing it to our own society. What will happen 20-30 years from now

when these kids hit middle age? They will be so sick... it's so sad.

And even worse, we are exporting our ways to all of the " up and

coming " industrialized nations of the world. Mc's is

everywhere. It's crazy.

Well, I better get off that soap box now...

LOL

Happy New Year to everyone!
