Questions

I have had a bunch of questions and I am feeling many have some angst around food. The purpose of the hunter gatherer experience is to raise our consciousness about what we throw in our mouths/bodies. However most important is to love yourself and accept that we make choices that are not always great, fine, recognize them and decide if you want to change. But at the end of the day you have to love yourself for the wacky person you are and the amazing journey you are on; and in this case we are journeying together, in essence supporting each other.

So to the questions, is dried fruit okay? No. It is your mind playing tricks on you, my mind does it all the time, dried fruit is really a candy bar. It is processed, usually with sulfur added to keep the color stable and to give you a little gas later (unintended consequence). But if you find you are craving dried fruit (as I am), know that is your sugar jones kicking in. The hunter gatherer should help you understand yourself a little bit better. You might crave salt, sugar, oils... The hunter gatherer is back to basics.

Some one asked is peanut butter okay, yes, if you are getting it from one of those machines that ground the peanuts, you want just peanuts not Jif's or Skippy's version, which has sugar, hydrogenated oils/transfats (to make it smooth) and probably some preservatives (may be salt). If you do the stuff you grind yourself you will  never go back.

Someone asked about bread, I would say no, unless you have found a place that sells a bread that is all whole grain (or you make it yourself), then it is processed. The stuff masquerading as bread is just not good for us.

One more thing, the point of the hunter gatherer is not about living longer but to be more alive while we are here so we can do lots of good stuff for lots of people.  Peace and Love
