I was amusing myself last night by trying to think if there are any foods that we haven’t <\/em>been warned not to eat.<\/p>\n

You can take all meat, dairy, and grain-based foods off the table (ha ha ha) right away. Poison, all of them.<\/p>\n

Legumes — also high carb. Nuts: oooh, all that fat! Back away from the nut, slowly, slowly!!!<\/p>\n

Fruit. I once read an article where some researcher said that rats fed too much fruit had watery livers. Something about all that pectin. No, I have no idea what “watery liver” means, don’t ask, I may not even remember the term correctly. But that’s not important. Obviously we should all avoid fruit if we want to live.<\/p>\n

So that leaves vegetables. Macrobiotics say for god’s sake don’t even touch members of the nightshade family, so toss out your peppers & tomatoes. Cabbage family stuff can be hard to digest: no brocolli, cauliflower or kale. Forget spinach or Swiss chard: high in oxalic acid. Lettuce: so little food value, what are you thinking? Carrots are pretty high carb, I dunno! Sweet peas are high-carb, too, as is winter squash. Snap peas may be okay.<\/p>\n

And green beans.<\/p>\n

So that’s what we have left, I think? Snap peas and green beans. Zucchini squash, I guess. Unsalted. And water, assuming it’s filtered.<\/p>\n

Bon appetit!
