That's wonderful PLZ - Maybe they'll come around. At least they are opening a bit. I felt so bad about the Indian Chief - I've known a number of Native people - most that I knew were so locked into the diet that was shoved down their throats - literally from the days they were herded onto the rez. It's all fry-bread and junk food. It's all they have been knowing for a long while now.
If you read the book In the "Absence of the Sacred by Jerry Mander" - he shows how it still goes on in present time and all around the globe - for profit! This book was written a while ago so they may have finished the job by now.
I love the native people of the continent - and it broke my heart to see this. But athe other 5 and the way the diet worked so fast really became an inspiration don't you think?
Pass it on - maybe your mom should see it - I'm going to send it to a friend who was just diagnosed with type 2. She's a stubborn one - but I'm hoping it sticks with her cause I love her and I don't want to see her get sicker and sicker.
