I’m growing weary of all these 6-8 meal a day plans. Seems to me that Meadows puts way too much emphasis on the minutia like “organic” or “grass fed” and all these specialty oils and “cleansing” foods he advocates. A guy like Meadows probably feels the minutia make a difference to him at his level, but to 90% of the people on this site, these details are likely in the noise. Heck, didn’t he have part of his intestine removed? I could see where that would drive someone to the extreme in terms of worrying about the minutia of what he eats.[/quote]
I have to disagree with you in calling these things “minutia”. For getting big and lean, it doesn’t make any difference, but for your general health its vitally important to eat foods that are not genetically modified, pumped full of hormones, pesticides, and antibiotics, or raised on unnatural feed. Paying attention to this stuff could prevent some chronic diseases when a person reaches middle age.
But I admit most young, poor bodybuilders don’t think 10 minutes down the road much less 25 years. It is on my mind more than most I suppose because I work exclusively with chronic diseases nowadays, and nearly every person that comes through our door I shake my head because their condition is so preventable yet they don’t have a clue what is causing it. Our health care system is so backwards.

re: marketing-- see “Local Eggs” thread. Local grub-fed chicken eggs vs. “Eggland’s Best Omega-3” eggs. Give me local all day long.
MODOK - I know you work in health/pharma in some way. What exactly do you do that you see and deal with patients? Do you diagnose and prescribe meds like an MD or PA does? Do you work with specific patients with specific illnesses?
