A few years ago, I received an interesting email communication from a colleague who had settled into our Wise Traditions diet of all-natural food, with plenty of butter and other animal fats, whole raw dairy foods, bacon and eggs, meat and fish, bone broth, and lacto-fermented foods. She listed the ways in which her health had improved—steadier mood, no more aches and pains, more energy, fewer colds—but admitted she still had one guilty habit. After shopping the edges of the supermarket for meat, eggs, bacon, cheese, butter, and vegetables, she always found herself in the cookie aisle. There she contemplated all the cookie offerings before choosing two packages—her sugar fix for the week.
