I'm trying to get to grips with all this stuff, so please excuse me if I'm
missing something.

On http://ecologos.org/ttdd.html you say:

"Worse, most orthodox nutritional texts tout the orthodox party line,
conceptually sponsored by the USDA, which is nothing more than a trade
organization of the agricultural/meat/dairy/grain industries. "


There are various links ("This page will link to analyses and correction of
some of these totally absurd, absolutely unsupportable, yet annoyingly
enduring myths, in addition to providing other interesting information.")

including one to Jerry Story's DMAK http://freshmeat.net/projects/dmak/ I
thought that this might be interesting, but I find that Jerry's home page
states "Calculations are made according to specified minimums and maximums,
and using the data downloaded from the USDA."

Is DMAK one of the baddies, or are you saying that it is valid, despite its
reference data

I tried installing the application, but it just ...... doesn't do anything -
I'll see if the windoze version is any better :-(
