Fat, anyone?

The Weston A. Price Foundation website has lots of interesting information (I actually linked an article on children's health). The president of the foundation is also the author of Nourishing Traditions, one of my favorite cookbooks/information books.
Weston Price was a dentist who traveled worldwide and began trying to find connections between people groups who had the best health (and, amazingly, the best teeth). His findings are quite interesting.
Anyway, this article has an interesting story about an experiment done on lab rats. Scroll down the article to read it. From what the article says, three groups of rats were tested: one group was given normal rat food and water, another group was given Cornflakes and water, and the last group was given the box in which the Cornflakes came and water. Care to guess which group died first?? ;-)
That reminds me, I need to go put my oats on to soak. :-)
1 cup oats (oatmeal), 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons buttermilk---soak overnight at room temperature
In the morning, bring one cup of water to a boil, add oats, and cook for 10 minutes. Add butter, raisins, honey, blueberries, flax seed, or whatever suits your taste. :-)
