Darn. They sound kinda yummy. Viv
of course a activist group that promotes Vegan diet would not support the Primal Cookbook. I follow the low carb diet: now I have: low cholest, fabulous blood sugar count, lost 15 lbs now at my ideal weight, no more sugardrop/hunger headaches.
Fellow citizens – look where the critique is coming from. More politics than health, in my opinion.
