We Are the Vikings

Since I am posting the full length Hollywood movie the Vikings next Tuesday, I thought a little musical parody history for the Vikings were in order.

Is a Gluten Free Diet Dangerous?

It is a common mistake to extrapolate one's own experience and try to enforce it on others.  So I will try not to do that in my introduction to the video I am sharing today. 

I am writing to the 10 to 30% of my readers that have problems with wheat. 80% of you have no idea that this is a problem. I certainly had no idea. 

Since about 20% of the modern US diet is from wheat, this is a problem for wheat-sensitive people. With what do you replace the wheat? As this video advocates, replacing processed wheat products with wheat-free processed products does not accomplish much, if anything. 

Instead I suggest you follow your mother's advice and eat your vegetables. In fact doubling or tripling your intake is probably called for, if you eat like the mythical "average US consumer." This is how I replaced the wheat. Increased vegetable consumption is not harmful for anyone because our consumption of this food group is very low.  So even if you still eat wheat, and most of you will and maybe should, cutting back on all processed foods of any food group and eating your vegetables is what you should be doing. 
I have a feeling you already know this. 

Soon I will talk about fruit, which while healthy does have some problems that should be discussed.
