I was struck by the allusion Lustig makes to sugar being as poisonous as alcohol. It makes ours look like a world of drug fiends.
Also, a diet with staples like grass-fed beef, pastured butter (or any other healthy animal fat), avocado, and fish is my kind of diet. No more forcing down bitter grain or soy products in fruitless attempts to go "healthy". Plus, my meals are so substantial and high in fat that I only need to eat once or twice a day.
For anyone interested, there's a lot of good paleo sites out there, but I'd start with http://paleonu.com and http://freetheanimal.com
And if you can, pick up Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon.
