Dear Lori, Thank you for your recent email! You have a wonderful and informative website. I am 70 years old and retired. I have so many interests. I love to cook different ethnic cuisines as well as barbecue. My current project is sourdough and other kinds of breads. I say the same thing, if you listened to everyone we would probably give up eating. I guess moderation is key. I have a propensity for gaining weight although I am active and try to curb my eating habits. I am having success with incorporating vegan dishes into my diet. As I stated you have an amazing website, for that I thank you. Sincerely, Wayne Yoka
