+1.. It makes it quite obvious to me that he has probably never left america, and if he has, only quite briefly. If he'd spent any time in Latin america, for example, he'd see that people far more humble than those he targets in his "marketing" plan use whole, fresh ingredients too. I see what he is saying. I don't agree with him, but I understand his view point. What Matt is saying is in a way, a very French idea (also quite Japanese, from my understanding). To honor you ingredient might sound to some to be extremely idealistic but to me it's important to respect the life that was lost and to also be thankful that you can afford to eat something like that. Venison of that type used to be reserved for the aristocracy.

It would seem that I am talking to the wrong crowd on this forum. It's almost not worth the static from the bitchers to bring my stuff here to those that want to see it.

For those of you that want to see what I do, and not cry about it like I just slapped your dog or something, check out the GrillinFools Facebook Fan Page, or follow us on twitter @GrillinFool. The Facebook page is a much more positive forum to discuss grilling ideas and methods without all the complainers.

And if any of you are in the St. Louis area, who would like to see what I do first hand, I'll be teaching a class on the 26th at L'Ecole Culinaire on winter grilling. There are still a couple seats available. We might be doing a full day grilling class this spring, but we haven't finalized the details yet...

I particularly like that you lost 50+ lbs eating like a king. I think there could be some interest in that. I also think there's some interest in the fact that Manton eats like a king as well, and is thin as a rake. Now that is something America could benefit from.

Thanks for that observation. I wonder if my dietary changes would be accepted by a wider audience though? I think the key was moving from someone that was carb heavy to someone that gets 40-50% of his calories from veggies and has removed about 90% of simple carbs from his diet. IMO, where people go wrong with the modified carb diet is they take up the slack crappy food, all protein and fat, then eventually re-introduce the empty carbs again.

This has really changed my palate. I used to be the guy that if I ate a veggie the goal was to make it taste like something other than a veggie. Now I enjoy, in fact crave, good salads, grilled veggies, etc.
