story w/comments. thanks, joerg
~I don't understand how "low-carbs" became so popular. It sounds better than 'more fiber', 'high protein', 'exercise more', or 'smaller portions'?
Incredible marketing bullshit or this years mantra for the nutritionally challenged, either way it's boring to talk about one's problems with food. The innuendo of 'low carbs' makes our individual, isolating food obsessions simpler, easier to share with others also afflicted, and best of all multi-national corporations are happy to sell us thousands of 'low carb' foodstuffs (reminders, acclamations, totems) that show us they're on our side!
