1+ !!!!!!

As I tell my friends that asks about the T2, I tell them I can
pretty much eat anything I want, with in reason, except
things that have been artificially hybridized for high
carbohydrate/sugar content. Have you read the carbs in
an orange? Yikes!!!!

This the addition of you guys and the CSA farm, I actually
have more variety than I ever had before too. And, those few
times when I am out in the field and did not have time
to make food to take with me, the three places I stop
bend over backwards to accommodate me: one, the owner is
a fellow T2; another, the brother of the owner is a T2
and both cooks love to cook Paleo; and the third one
has a daughter that is allergic to wheat.
