this is true, and reading back over what i wrote, i agree its misleading. perhaps if i had said the recent
surge in the popularity of the "low carb" diet, as opposed to speaking as though it was something new. my mistake. but i still maintain that the beef industry funded and helped push that diet on the people. and its an awful diet.

ugh, refined sugar is awful too. and refined grains (like white bread) no wonder americans eat all the time, all the food they eat has such a terrible glycemic load that we never get full.
