Woody Allen's 1973 film "Sleeper" may accurately portray healthy eating in the future

Woody Allen's quirky futuristic film "Sleeper" released in 1973 had an amazing scene where Dr. Melik, portrayed by Mary Gregory, and Dr. Aragon, characterized by John McLiam, have a conversation about Allen's character who just woke up after 200 years to a future he doesn't recognize. This particular scene was especially prescient in light of the constant changes we see in the research about what is healthy for us and what is not. Here's the transcript of the enlightening exchange:

Dr. Melik: This morning for breakfast he requested something called "wheat germ, organic honey and tiger's milk."

Dr. Aragon: [chuckling] Oh, yes. Those are the charmed substances that some years ago were thought to contain life-preserving properties.

Dr. Melik: You mean there was no deep fat? No steak or cream pies or... hot fudge?

Dr. Aragon: Those were thought to be unhealthy... precisely the opposite of what we now know to be true.

We're probably a lot closer to this being a reality than anything else we've ever seen from the entertainment culture! For more information about why consuming fat, steak, and cream are healthy, check out http://www.livinlavidalowcarb.com/blog and prepare to have your eyes opened to the truth!

Glad to see that Jimmy uncovered one of my favorite bits from a great film. But sad to see that many doctors are still mired in the conventional wisdom of low-fat (but high omega-6) and high-grain diets that have left obesity, diabetes, and heart disease in their wake. (I'm still looking for that healthy hot fudge, however!)

I lost 30% OF MY BODY FAT BY EATING HIGH PROTEIN, HIGH SATURATED FAT FOODS AND NO CARBS. My cholesterol levels dropped by 25% and my HDL increased by 12%. It was easy when you can eat as much bacon, burgers, steaks etc etc as you would like.

I just thought I'd let everyone know that I have a 95 year old Italian great uncle who's lived on pasta, bread, and cookies for his entire life.
