Texas Town Has Healthy Turnaround
A special report on local TV station KOTV. The reporter visited Marshall, Texas to report on a health turnaround for a lot of people. They changed to a healthy diet and regained their health. They lost weight, lowered their cholesterol, lowered their blood pressure, and their diabetes went into remission.

a whole town made up of smart smart people.

theres a lot of money to be made if people choose to only
eat healthy diets.

thanks Bill that was refreshing.

It shows what you can do if you really stop and think about it. This wouldn't be the answer to all medical problems but it works for a lot of the ones that we have problems with nowadays.

I think the biggest problem for most people is just getting the right mind set to attempt this kind of a diet. I know I like meat, and that diet was low on meat. Not a problem really, as long as you make sure you get enough protein. And I expect an occasional hamburger, or steak would be ok.

And some people might have problem implementing the diet. If both a husband and wife work outside the home then they can run into a time problem. Cooking does take time, and when you come in from work and have to do everything in a hurry you can get impatient and start reaching for the fast processed food. It might be especially a problem for single mothers working 2 minimum wage jobs.

Paul will probably like this too.

Paul might like it, but it reads like gibberish to me. He makes some suggestions that don't have any apparent rationale, other than a desire to 'explain' Genesis.

Agreed, I think Paul can do a better job when he avoids getting personal.

I've been thinking about that link a little bit. I think that, if you don't believe Genesis, there is a very simple and human explanation for all the stories in Genesis. They started off as simple tall tales. You know: "When I was young we walked to school through 5 feet of snow." "You should have seen the one that got away." "You call that a flood, you should have seen the one my grandfather talked about." And so on. Very simple and very human.
