on a related note, I ride the metro bus to work downtown and there is a young man that sells cookies (and sells out EVERYDAY), wrapped two together, out of a tupperware container. so he's picking up $20 -30 dollars riding bus.

I'm not a quinoa fan but do like ground flaxseed...as for Diverticulosis, it is a person to person thing, once had a doctor tell me to go ahead with Strawberries, yet, know 2 people hospitalized for taking that advice...
Gout was a real pain, but worst pain was my bout when I had to be hospitalized when the diverticulitis flared up, worse than a heart attack, being stabbed, getting my nose and other bones broken...
Diverticulitus...had me crying like a little baby who hadn't been fed in days, so I don't risk experimenting.
I use fresh fruit (small amounts) to get some sugar (sweetness) in the cookies and muffins, like blueberries, chopped raisins, and apples. Mostly apples.
We have a place called Quaker Square, where Quaker Oats used to be stored and processed, for 3 decades they had a cookie store with the best Oatmeal cookies anywhere, NOT healthy, but back then, who cared?
I once made 1000 bux at a Flea Market selling Giant Chocolate Chip cookies, so there is a big market for sweets, no doubt.
Be back later with some more info. Old Gordy got hisself busy and is fightn off the gators nipping at his rump in the swump. HA!
