People who think they are doomed to these diseases simply because their parents or grandparents had it...which is totally the easy way out. And just because you have the genetic predisposition does NOT mean you have to be irresponsible and do your damndest to flip the switch to full throttle disease status. It is not a certainty and it is not your parents' fault. I hear this way too often. Like the person has zero choice in the matter. But what happens when a person with diabetes gets gastric bypass or band surgery?? Amazingly enough, with the weight loss and "eating healthier" they tend to come off every.single.med. Diabetes and hypertension REVERSED and clinically undetectable. Unfortunately though, as common as this scenario is post surgery, fast forward to 3 years out and many if not most have found a way to persevere with their horrific eating habits and work themselves back up to pre-surgery weight OR beyond and back on their prior medicines plus some. Totally disheartening. Nothing worse than making excuses to continue to slowly destroy your body. Just because mom, dad or grandma have/had it, does NOT mean you have no choice or control in the matter. Quite the opposite in fact. But I'm sure we at CFR already know all this. That is why we continue to fight the good fight :) Keep up the good work everyone. It pays off in the end! (apologies for my rant :)--Angie We could go on all day about this couldn’t we Mall??

I stopped using my daily inhaler Jan. 1. I haven't had one episode since and we all know what an 800 meter run or a few hundred double unders can do to your lungs.

They are a bit <em>starchy</em> (hence your finding on glycemic load), but nothing like a sweet potato...more like a carrot. beets also have a fab amount of vitamins and nutrients, making it a perfect veggie to roast or marinate. i know you know, Barb, but I want to reiterate that paleo does not mean you have to go carb free. Beets are colorful and delicious. I say eat them and love them, and let some other, lesser food(maybe brownies or mcdonalds french fries?!?) worry you! i think they are both delicious and have a place in a rich paleo lifestyle!

We are going to do a lot of green leaf stuff, usually do some toms, peppers, eggplant and I think we will do green beans. I usually leave the larger stuff for farmer markets (squash, melons, corn) bc we don't have a lot of space. Also, Jed and I have done CSAs and have researched a decent amount so let us know if you have questions and we can try to help! I have always grown a ton of herbs as well and I usually dry them too.

I plan to plant 6 tomato plants this year instead of 16 to give me more room for red, yellow, green peppers and lots of leafy veggies - kale, spinach etc. Also always plant beets. I will plant more this year for CFR. I also always have a ton of herbs; basil, thyme, oregano, parsley, sage, mint. Herbs can be picked from my yard at any time this summer or if needed, I can bring to the gym!!! This is going to be great!!! I usually plant a dense garden since I don’t have a ton space.
