"The basic foods should be the entire grains such as whole wheat, rye or oats, whole wheat and rye breads, wheat and oat cereals, oatcake, dairy products, including milk and cheese, which should be used liberally, and marine foods. All sea foods are high in minerals and constitute one of the very best foods you could eat. Canned fish such as sardines, tuna or salmon are all excellent; also the fresh fish such as oysters, halibut, haddock, etc. The protein requirement can be provided each day in one egg or a piece of meat equivalent to the bulk of one egg a day. The meals can be amply modified and varied with vegetables, raw and cooked, the best of the cooked vegetables being lentils used as a soup.
There are only a few foods that would give you your fat-soluble vitamins. These are eighter fish products, including practically all fresh water and salt water foods, milk, cheese and butter made from cows that have been on a rapidly growing green young wheat, either fresh or stored grass, particularly butter made in June. This is much richer than butter made during other seasons of the year."

I don't know if other mamas have been feeling left out lately besides me, since grain free seems to monopolize the TF forums lately, but to all those other TF mamas who love their grains, or need them to keep food on their plates, a reminder that there are many paths to TF and good nutrition, not just one way.
I was browsing through my NT today, and saw this quote in the side bar. It actually really amazed me. given the focus we often have on protein and fat. All of your protein requirement can be filled with 1 egg a day? certainly not for everyone, but it makes eating all pastured seem so much more accessible. I most certainly can't feed 25 % protein 60% fat and afford good meat, but that isn't much. Now it does sound like he means fish and dairy to be in addition to that, but still.
Hearing Price's depression era advice is useful to me as a grain-loving, on a tight budget trying to eat nutritiously gal.

I've personally felt bad when newcomers get the idea that TF is all about grain free as well, b/c I certainly don't think it is, and WAPF in particular is all about grains. (And I am grain free, and am loving the grain free threads.) I do think having a separate sub-forum could be really helpful for the grain free/paleo folks. (And help avoid confusion on what TF is all about for everyone else, esp for newcomers.)
I love my grains!
