…corn is king for fattening cattle.
–Charles Sanders
Charles Sanders’ prescription for what to add to your cow’s hay to make sure he fattens nicely for slaughter:
1000 lbs. corn
100 lbs. beef supplement (protein)
50 lbs. molasses feed
Ingredients in a popular “Organic” (healthy!) breakfast cereal:
Whole Grain Corn, Organic Dried Cane Syrup, Salt, Organic Molasses.
Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must first be overcome.
–Samuel Johnson
In trying to compile the information I’ve been learning, I feel it’s important to give place to objections and questions. I’m trying to go through the most common questions I get, first. Although some of them are more objections than they are true questions.
By far the biggest one I’ve dealt with has already gotten two posts of its own: “What do you eat?” Vying for second plaec is this question:

“Begin at the beginning,” said the King gravely, “and go on till you come to the end: then stop.” –Lewis Carroll
Who am I?
No one in particular. I’m American, but I live in Asia. I’m a woman, but I really like football, cars and barbecue. I have blue eyes, but sometimes I wish they were brown because they’re sensitive to sunshine and bright lights. I love to talk to people older than I, but I also love playing soccer with kids nearly a fifth my age. Oh, and I used to be fat.
Really fat.
But that’s been changing. In the course of (at the date of this writing) seven months, I’ve lost 115 pounds, packed on muscle and dramatically improved my triglycerides, my HDL count, my blood pressure and my resting heartbeat. I’ve also gotten more alert, ended spring allergies and have energy and to spare.
