Yes, Quin...thanks for the essay of questions Kathy! <BR/><BR/>Yes, Quinoa and rice are GF. As well as Amaranth and millett and I just bought some of it. I plan to post soon about how we eat them.<BR/><BR/>I agree completly about the narrowness of the standard American diet. Now that we have to scrutinize our diets, I am amazed at how unhealthy we eat! I also plan to write my own essay about why we don't eat them and why we have NO food diversity. I have been asking myself the same question for a while now and have a few theories I will share with you when I find the time to write. Soon I hope! I did put together a couple new posts to answer your first questions though.<BR/><BR/>Hope this blog is helpful, Thanks for reading!FlowerMommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11968847056980865961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1781253855353344567.post-54835375886888279532009-04-04T10:56:00.000-04:002009-04-04T10:56:00.000-04:00Wow! Poor Daisy! I am so glad you figured that out...Wow! Poor Daisy! I am so glad you figured that out so quickly and that's she's feeling better already.<BR/><BR/>Tell me again, please - which grains have gluten? Wheat, oats, corn, barley??<BR/><BR/>Quinoa and rice don't, right? What else? Millet? I would like to understand better, even if I don't have the kind of sensitivity your family does. I suspect we'd all be healthier if we consumed less wheat/gluten, or something, simply because our diet is generally so extremely dependent on it. When we get too dependent on one type of thing, eventually our bodies seem to react to it one way or another, don't you think?<BR/><BR/>And our diets are largely based on red meats and wheat! I see this more and more when I try to eliminate those things. If we had more diversity in our diets, it would not be traumatic to eliminate something. Diversity in diet... sounds like a good idea, yes? Tell me your thoughts; this is an area where I can learn a lot.<BR/><BR/>Good grief, this isn't a comment, it's an essay! An essay with no point - only questions!Mama Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13617854795413276261noreply@blogger.com
