Thanks for your comments, Janey. I've had so many complaints from folks about how the boards have become argumentative, disagreeable, and way off track from the EFI dietary guidelines. I have always tried to err on the side of being as permissible as possible, but I think I've gone too far in that direction.
From now on, I'm just going to lock posts that are clearly off topic and if someone continues to post in violation of the board guidelines we'll just ban them. At this point, I would genuinely prefer that those who don't want to follow the EFI diet simply leave this board and find another one that is more suitable for them.
The whole point of this board is to help people to follow the EFI diet, not to help them circumvent it.
I appreciate your candor and comments and I hope you see this board return to the helpful and friendly forum it used to be.
