** I think I said that before. I for one can't tolerate fats and too

much fruit and veggies. I am thin. I " need " some carbs. I am

a " civilized " man, but not always having good manners. I don't live

in the jungle. If I lived there, if I had a perfect health, then may

be I could do as the carnivores do.

** Thank you for the information. I don't readily understand why you

think this is backwards. You have a way with words, don't you? Why

should wondering about something be backwards? There was no malice in

there.

** Voilà. I was an orthorexic for a long time. I could talk about it,

but I will spare you. I said " boasting " because many people like

boasting about great or difficult things they do. Some, for instance,

say boastfully that they don't care for food, but then secretly they

eat heaps of " bad " food. What do I know? Since you don't know me

well, I wanted to make sure to you that I was not boasting to say

that I am able, on certain days, to live on only one meal. That is

it. Nothing else. Perhaps you were saying it to me backwards now ...
