What it has to do with a low-carb diet. It’s not what you might think.

The Low-Fat Diet Fad
Is it on its last legs?
If so, it’s long past due.
Going Paleo
The government has been a disaster for our health. And as he points out, it’s no coincidence that people who eat paleo tend to be libertarian. There’s a good reason for it.
Delaying Cardiovascular Disease
It’s a long article, but bottom line is avoid sugar, and don’t worry about saturated fat.
Dense Acellular Carbohydrates
In other words, sugar and flour. A new paper on why a paleolithic diet works.
Being Heart Healthy
I’ve never been a coffee drinker — it always seemed like an addiction to me, and I don’t want become one of those people who can’t function in the morning without it. I’d like to see the numbers on this study to determine whether or not it would be worth taking up the habit, given that I chose very bad parents when it comes to heart problems (though my general lifestyle is much different than theirs as well, since I’ve never smoked, and have a much better diet).
“Low-Carb” Bread
This really is a big problem for people who are trying to eat paleo or reduced carb. Unfortunately, the food that’s the worst for us tastes damn good.
Rachel Ray
She should be invited to cook for the White House. What a difference a comma makes.
Our Celebrity President
Don’t miss Mark Steyn’s latest on Barack Hussein Kardashian:
…there are some cheap seats available. A year and a half ago, big-money Democrats in Rhode Island paid $7,500 per person for the privilege of having dinner with President Obama at a private home in Providence. He showed up for 20 minutes and then said he couldn’t stay for dinner. “I’ve got to go home to walk the dog and scoop the poop,” he told them, because when you’ve paid seven-and-a-half grand for dinner nothing puts you in the mood to eat like a guy talking about canine fecal matter. And, having done the poop gag, the president upped and exited, and left bigshot Dems to pass the evening talking to the guy from across the street. But you’ve got to admit that’s a memorable night out: $7,500 for Dinner with Obama* (*dinner with Obama not included).
At least he didn’t say he had to go home and eat the dog.
Is Obama A Replicant?
Maybe this explains a lot. I was watching Blade Runner last night, and in a scene I’d forgotten in detail, Rachael fails Deckard’s empathy test by her non-reaction to these words: “eating raw oyster and boiled dog.” Hey, it’s just what’s for dinner.
Of course, it assumes that there is some kind of universal antipathy to eating dog, when it’s clearly a cultural thing, so it wasn’t really a fair test of whether or not she was human. And of course, I don’t think that Obama could stand up to Harrison Ford in a fight for more than a couple seconds, even now.
