Another true diet food

I once read that celery (raw) is the only true diet food. It takes more energy to chew & digest than it provides in calories

Now I read of another one. The Athapascan Indians who live northwest of the Great Bear Lake in Canada have an expression rabbit starvation. This does not mean a shortage of rabbits, it means human starvation from having only rabbits to eat. The meat is so lean that digesting it takes more from the body than it adds

Then this morning on Womans Hour I heard that the new emphasis on fruit & veg means that small children are not getting the fat they need. One of the expert paediatric nutritionists even said that children should consume whole rather than skimmed milk up to the age of 5

Hooray. Three cheers. Bring out the flags & lets have a parade. On our way to the publishers with our draft multi-million best seller The Organic Fair Trade Home Grown Celery & Rabbit Diet book
