What's So Bad About Wheat?

Whew!  Another busy several weeks gone by with no blog post!
                      
Sorry guys.  Suffice to say, as per usual when there’s an absence of posts for me, I have been super busy and travelling a lot.  I’ll try to do some updates and posts on what all Jeff and I have been up to over the next week or so, now that we will be more or less home for a while. 
 
In the meantime, check out this very interesting story from NPR (many of you already know that I am a complete NPR junkie) on wheat, gluten, Ciliac Disease, and eating habits.  Doctors Say Changes In Wheat Do Not Explain Rise Of Celiac Disease
The article touches on two of my favorite topics: farming (Hello! We are wheat farmers!!) and health.  I am specifically interested in healthy eating and always considering how what Jeff and I raise fits in to a healthy diet.  In addition, the article skims the surface of the emerging scientific field of the human micro biome, which I find absolutely fascinating. 
 
Anyway, seems like everyone knows at least one person who is gluten-free, and this story investigates that phenomenon.  Check it out to learn a bit more!
