It's not viable AFAIK, and I don't suggest anyone try it in the hope it's going to do anything useful. <br /><br />Nope, no additives allowed in my scenario! Funnily enough, we DO have grilled fish and sweet potato quite often, and enjoy it a lot. I guess I am really referring to quality of life.Denis Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786035137418348609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722735165669239585.post-59833914703085820092011-07-21T14:54:47.350+10:002011-07-21T14:54:47.350+10:00Does this mean you have investigated the raw kelp ...Does this mean you have investigated the raw kelp option? Heheh. Because you are too smart to suggest it if it wasn't viable. I guess it has everything, nutritionally. Anyway, I bet that a few ingredients could be added and it would still be effective -eg sweet potato and fish -as in Okinawa.They do lots of physical work well into their old age, too.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03796734273732243982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722735165669239585.post-3323245762772161052011-07-21T10:31:57.528+10:002011-07-21T10:31:57.528+10:00Both have too much truth in them to be comfortable...Both have too much truth in them to be comfortable! Mark Twain was an amazing guy. I pose this question: if a diet of raw kelp and *nothing else* guaranteed you would live to be at least 100, would you want to? :)Denis Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786035137418348609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722735165669239585.post-6950871542766604552011-07-20T08:15:45.216+10:002011-07-20T08:15:45.216+10:00Each one very special.Thank you for those.

While it is at its sharpest it seems a bad investment,but when the relief begins ,the unexpired remainder is worth $4 a minute'.<br /><br />And <br />'He had much experience of physicians, and said 'the only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd druther not'. :)Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03796734273732243982noreply@blogger.com
