Mom's visiting. Along with her decade's old prohibition against eating tomatoes, eggplant, bell peppers, potatoes, etc. I'm kind of sick of this. Any clinical proof that solanine causes osteoarthritis? Even better, any proof that it does not? I am forbidden to even re-use cooking utensils between pots that have touched the forbidden foods.

So i'm trying to solicit some unbiased thoughts and opinions on the subject. A lab mix - probably greyhound or wippet, maybe even dalmatian, with some ribs showing, slight backbone showing, and super muscular. Dog is very active, hikes and runs, climbs 14,000 mountains in colorado, etc - all with no problem. Eats usually 2 to 3 cups of quality dog food, lately part raw too - on more active day will get slightly more food. Healthy or not? I know general consensus is you should be able to feel ribs but not see, but should that really apply across the board?

I have a work schedule that demands I be away from home for 10 to 12 hours per day, thus making it difficult to fit in a healthy diet. To make matters worse, my position requires a lot of repetitive manual labor (moving and rewinding heavy reels of film, etc.), which is taxing on my poor, overworked muscles. I need suggestions on high energy food that's cheap, doesn't need to be refrigerated, and tastes good (if such a thing exists). [more inside]
