Re: [FairfieldLife] to those who use a handle on FFL to noozBtu and feste
No, most of the world drives on the right hand side. Many of the countries that drive on the left are former British colonies. This practice evolves from all thing because of jousting! You needed to hold the spear in your right hand for aim. Perhaps sometime in the future the left hand countries will become right hand but probably not without a lot of accidents as a result of the changeover. Good reason for automated cars. ;-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-_and_left-hand_traffic What is the western diet? The regional diet around here would be Mexican which actually agrees with me. When I was in India I ordered items off the back pages of the menu at restaurants. Those pages had Chinese food on them. Indian food was just a bit too spicy for me. In the west the Indian restaurants make food for white folks which is not quite the same as you get in India. One thing I immediately noticed was the difference in rice. Deepak Chopra in one of his videos explained that the western diet is actually fairly vata balancing with the predominance of sweet, salty and sour tastes. I'm pitta-kapha constitutionally but kapha goes high very easily. When ayurveda began to take off in the west people thought that tri-dosha was the goal but now it is restoring your constitution. I also approach this from other disciplines including yin and yang concepts (much simpler than ayurveda) and the western biochemical individuality and metabolic typing. All good tools for maintaining health. I like to listen Dr. Gary Null's show mornings. I've been reading his stuff since the 1970s. But he advocates veganism these days (in spite of advocating things like ayurveda) and sounds like he is going crazy. Vegans always sound hungry and they are because they're starving. A vegan diet is a good method for cleansing but not for long term. Our ancestors made sure of that by morphing us into omnivores. Similarly a low-carb high protein diet is good for toning and fast weight reduction but most nutritionally oriented practitioners say only use it for two weeks.
