[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 213818, member: 12578"] Zoe Harcombe is a slim lady , I understand that until recently she was a vegetarian and has only recently started eating meat again. This is how her daily diet was described a neswpaper article in Oct 2010, “I have porridge with plain oats every morning,” she says. “For lunch, I have a massive cheese salad with four types of cheese, fennel, beetroot, alfafa sprouts, dark leaves and loads of olive oil and I stuff in lots of salad leaves for plenty of filler. “And for dinner, I’ll have something like a butternut squash curry with brown rice. “There’s absolutely no excuse for ready meals – who hasn’t got time to put a pork chop under the grill or make a pasta sauce with wholewheat pasta?

They obviously owe a lot to G Taubes .
