Might see if I can get to the Brisbane one. I notice one of the November goals is to eat more organ meat. I can tell you right now that won't be happening for me. Absolutely hate offal.

As in , Swisse Vitamins?

So they'll be bringing out Paleo supplements soon endorsed by Pete Evans if they can bribe him with enough cash.
Hope Evan doesn't sell his soul to these junk companies, I lost all my respect I had for Ricky Ponting Tommy Hafey when I seen their heads on TV flogging Swisse vitamins.
Money will never buy your respect or integrity back.

Its a bit of a joke as Better H&G boosomie cook Karen Martini who specialises in cakes & biscuits using buckets of sugar and flour is overseeing the menu.
 
Just received this question on another forum I post on
Repacked said:
I'm no expert on keto and this isn't a critique but a question - regarding your assertion that you may eat LCHF for 'the rest of your life', would a long term diet consisting of disproportionately high fats possibly pose some health risks, especially is there is a higher than desirable percentage of saturated fats?
While it may be beneficial in a fat loss diet, if you were trying to build muscle do you think that it may impede your progress given the properties of carbohydrates (or lack thereof)? Just questions not a criticisms.

The newer more credible scientific data (ie studies not backed by big pharma or grain organisations) suggests homocysteine and visceral fat levels are the true indicators of poor cardiovascular health and not consumption of saturated fats or cholesterol levels as has been believed for the past 50 years. It seems increasingly likely that the inflammatory response from processed foods is what hurts us and blaming Cholesterol for all heart attacks is like blaming firemen for all fires, just because they are both at the scene of the crime doesn't imply they are responsible for the act.

ABC's Catalyst tacked this issue last year to scathing criticism and were subsequently pulled from the ABC's website due to concerns of bias. However upon reading the report the only element of both episodes (see below) they found to be unbalanced was in the second episode when they neglected to mention the benefit of statins to those who had already suffered a heart attack (called secondary prevention). Seems like a bit of an overreaction to pull both episodes right?

Am I on the money?
 
Is anyone else tired of seeing that "5 foods never to eat" ad everywhere?

Made coconut milk kefir too, next experiement is with coconut water.

Uh oh, opened a can of worms here

Your are claiming big pharma and grain company conspiracies. On the other side of the argument you can also claim those with money invested in the low carb keto movement could also be blurring the scientific research in their favor with funding money.

The only people who would be benefiting from such a conspiracy are small time farmers and dairies feeding their cattle nothing but grass. Hardly the type to sponsor million dollar research projects.

You have the blinkers on mate. Plenty of ways to make money through low carb keto band wagon. You can't have it both ways. Both sides have an agenda and both try and make money off it and both put money into studies.

Don't get me started on grass only fed cows. Let me keep it simple. Grass while a good feed at times isn't the magical perfect feed for cows that the stuff your reading is telling you.

I don't follow any particular individual's ethos and am therefore immune from being subjected to advertoirals for George Columbaris' low carb Swisse Vitamins or feel the need to purchase Pete Evans' latest cook book (both recent converts to LCHF). There's no denying the presence of self serving scam artists.

However surely you can see the advantages to purchasing food stuffs through small time producers with an actual affinity for the animals they are rearing rather than massive conglomerate companies that only care for their bottom line.

Bazza20;607923 said:
This just shows you are reading information off a dodgy website not coming from actual knowledge on topic.

The grass fed movement in full of crap.

Also the idea that small farms treat animals better or it's better to have food from small farms than large corporate farms has no realisation in the real world.

How many large and small farms have you been to.

For your reference this is where I am right now.

So grass is bad for cows how exactly?

I spent a lot of time on my uncles farm which I suppose I would consider a large farm but probably not many more than that.

I will have a "Primal" badge :)

Another article by/about Pete Evans in todays HUN liftout he said

"Paleo, primal or LCHF [low carb, high fat] – the name it goes under isn’t important – is a way of life and a balanced approach to returning to eating the most natural foods available, straight from the source"

Well said.

“One of my goals it to get a fridge for every classroom in the country, so kids can take their food to school and keep it chilled until lunchtime, as this is what a lot of parents struggle with when they pack protein that hasn’t been heavily processed.”

As a teacher all I can say is, "Good luck with that Pete". Unless he's willing find a source that will fund it there is no way the government will fork out for a fridge in every classroom.

I think there is greater issues then what students eat at school in the education system.

I live in nth QLD n the kids leave there lunch box in their school bag outside in covered shelving which limits what I can give them during school hours cos fresh meat would go off in the heat even we had ice packs.
I hit the school up for classroom fridges, I can organise a sponsor , but then they complained of the extra electric cost to run the fridges!
Now working on getting a sponsor or grant for solar energy panels on the school roof.

School is worried it will hurt their canteen sales of hot dogs n meat pies!
