I don't imply I say outright to you that no countries that I do 100%.

This English she is a hardly language, either.

The bitter experiences from the history of my own country (Germany) show
that they have a lot to do with battlefield ethics.

This ain't Germany.

I'm aware of that. The point is that you never had the drastic changes
in government that we had, so that the effect of a change in government
on battlefield ethics will be smaller and more difficult to see,
particularly for people who chose to look the other way ...

You used the term first and now I ask you to exactly define it.

Well, now you ask much. I think there are some kinds of food that are
most definitly "good", that is beneficial for health or at least not
unhealthy. Those include in my eyes:

Lean meat, especially poultry

Fish

Many vegetables, for example broccoli, cauliflower, onions, kohlrabi,
green beans

Some fruits, for example strawberries

Olive oil

Nuts

Then there are other things that are probably ok, like saturated fat (if
not eaten together with carbs), but where there is still some
conflicting evidence so that we cannot be sure at the moment.

Don't you wonder?

Maybe this is more like a clinic or something than an ordinary doctors
office, so that they might not be included in the database for this
reason.

Licensed doctors are universally included in the database.

physicians.

Because they say so in their book?

Yes. If they were frauds, someone would have noticed by now, I assume.

Unlicensed MDs are not frauds. They simply don't have licenses to practice
medicine.

Well, at least at the time when they wrote the book, the Eades have
praticed medicine, at least they say so in their book.

That's a huge and broad spectrum making your "definition" practically
useless.

That's debatable.

Battlefield ethics haven't changed much, if any, since the 60's.

Like the populace.
