Red Fife and more importantly Marquis have had significant effect on Canadians being able to grow wheat in this country's climate. And to think those poor Jesuit missionaries in New France tried so hard to grow wheat just so they could make a few hosts.Truthfinderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00937672867378660928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524471174570445036.post-68521824148364122142016-07-16T21:18:05.685+01:002016-07-16T21:18:05.685+01:00Apparently your great-grandmother's proverb fi...Apparently your great-grandmother's proverb first emerged in 1924. http://www.barrypopik.com/index.php/new_york_city/entry/the_whiter_your_bread_the_sooner_youre_deadMrs McLeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18095035617334068201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524471174570445036.post-47883948337250360962016-07-16T21:15:50.254+01:002016-07-16T21:15:50.254+01:00Balance and moderation ARE are key to weight contr...Balance and moderation ARE are key to weight control--the argument is that sugar and wheat make you hungrier and eat more than your body needs (or actually wants, really). <br /><br />I like your great-grandmother's maxim. Presumably she was pro-roughage as flour couldn't have been that bad in her day (that said, if her day included any time 1960, it was).Mrs McLeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18095035617334068201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524471174570445036.post-12685991564967999282016-07-16T18:43:25.095+01:002016-07-16T18:43:25.095+01:00GORGEOUS dress!!

That said, the cycles of dietary advice (like from no fat/high carb to low carb/high protein, or "never eat eggs or you'll die a miserable high cholesterol death" to "eggs are a superfood; eat regularly!") kind of amuse me. I haven't jumped on the sugar-free train (though I'm glad it's worked for you) and will be interested to see where it goes.<br /><br />But my great-grandmother DID used to say, "The whiter your bread, the sooner you're dead!" Apparently she knew something...Domestic Divanoreply@blogger.com
