Hi Gary! I'm 100% on board the "sugar is the devil" train, thanks to you, Nina Teicholz, and Dr Robert Lustig, and my family and I are loving the results after removing most added sugar from our diet. My question is, based on your research, do you have any recommendations for how parents of small children should approach holidays like Valentine's Day and Halloween where a ton of candy consumption is the social expectation? Is it better to let them binge on it for one night then take it away, or let them eat one piece a day til it's gone? Or let them eat certain types of candy but not others? (Candy is, obviously, not part of their daily diet at home.) Apologies if this was covered in one of your books, I have really limited time to read due to the aforementioned kids.

Follow up question: Didn't all those populations eat a ton of organ meats? Maybe a better question is, are vegetables necessary if you can't stomach the idea of consuming eyeballs, liver, blood, etc?

Yeah, and if we eat more of the animal as well, instead of just the muscles. Doing my part here, I just cooked some pigs feet for dinner last night! (well kinda, hubs and nephew loved it, I tasted it and then heated up some leftovers.)
