How We Eat

Food Journals of the Weston A. Price Foundation Board of Directors

Note: Values for Board member diets were calculated using the program posted at http://147.208.9.133/default.asp. Many of the items we normally eat were not included in this USDA database so we made the best possible substitutions (vinegar for lacto-fermented beverages, raw vegetables for lacto-fermented vegetables, vegetable oil for cod liver oil, etc.).
