Author Dear Betty Crocker,
Tim Campbell

I've had varicose veins since I was sixteen. I had two bouts of
phlebitis before I was twenty-five. I took diuretics regularly, had
almost constant pain and swelling in my legs. I couldn't do the things
I enjoyed - even going to museums or on long walks - without suffering.
Almost immediately after eliminating sugar and white flour from my diet
and switching to whole foods, the pain stopped. No more swelling, no
more diuretics. No more allergies, colds, no illnesses in two years
since I set fire to your cookbook.
I never knew I could feel so good.

Boy is this true! My health has been radically improved by this sort of
improvement in diet.

And you can cook your food over the fire.

Do you prefer her cookbook to be rare, medium or well done, and does it
go good with Hollandaise sauce?

Keep eating sludge-food and one day you and Cheney will be on "the
table" wishing you had begun eating according to a book like this years
ago...

"Sludge-food..." just so impresses me with the wisdom and science behind
it. Like "cow-goo."

No, seriously...

Whatever you are eating it is destroying your sense of humor.

As for my diet, you have not a clue (which, when added to that list of
items you do not have a clue about, makes a very long list.)

I would be willing to bet the sugar had nothing to do with it.
Get off the grains and usually all that crap goes away.

Right. The "wisdom" of bumper-sticker thinking.
