LOL...we’re dating ourselves! I saw “Carb” and also thought carburetor. Anybody under 30 probably has never even heard that word.

As just one example of that, Galileo was sentenced to house arrest for daring to say that Aristotle was wrong about gravity.

And just who turned Galileo over to the inquisition?...His scientist peers, that's who. And let that be a lesson to you, this is what happens when you dare to go against consensus!

I know a "world famous" botanist who says that people who eat beef are causing global warming. Now we are back to the STUPID, STUPID government "pyramid" that fattened us up for slaughter like beef by making carbs the heaviest part of a diet for modern people who have no daily physical requirement for heavy caloric diets.

These people are absolutely brilliant--always doing something "smarter" than the Average Joe. Let THEM eat the carbs!

I need to go on Atkins. I’ve tried it before but found it a boring diet. I can go without pasta but craved breads. Sadly one Guinness sets one back 10.6 carbs.

“I thought meat caused global warming?”

it does. in fact ALL food causes global warming and the only way to save the planet is for all humans to eat dirt instead of food ...

Atkins and Keto are great starter diets, but they’re hard to maintain long term and can be rough on your liver. If you can adhere to them for 4 weeks, you should rid yourself of any cravings for carbohydrates and can reintroduce fibrous carbs like fruits.

My rule of thumb is to avoid any “white” foods (yes, that’s racist) such as bread, white rice, potatoes, and sugar. Everything else is fair game. Weight will come off naturally.

Silly. It’s not Atkins; that’s passe. It’s now “Keto.”

Getcher propaganda terms in order. /s

Here’s the deal: I did Atkins when I was most ignorant and, for a time, it worked for me. Like most everyone out there, no ‘diet’ is panacea for all. MOTUS makes some very good points, points which I elaborate at-length in my book due to the fact that it’s a little more complicated than his hit-n-run post.

If you’re still doing Atkins after 20 years, I can only presume a couple of things: 1. It’s working for you and 2. You’ve probably modified things a bit for what works best for you & you alone.

No ‘diet’ will cure everyone’s problems. “Keto” included.

But the takeaway from MOTUS should be a very Conservative reaction:

Question EVERYTHING the government says, especially when special interests are driving things. It will take generations for the damage wrought over the past 70 years to be reversed...if action began TODAY.

But the problem governs not government action. Nor the medical community. It governs personal responsibility. I fault everyone suffering from this so-called “opioid epidemic” for their own poor choices. That includes not asking “why” they have the pain in the first place. Who the hell actually trusts their doctor implicitly? That’s as crazy as “settled science.”

Sadly, I doubt I will live to see a medical name applied to the condition from which I recovered and which I believe afflicts 2/3 of the country, as this “climate change” debate is a red flag for the state of science...applicable to all areas, not just health.

NO discussion of globull warming is complete without the following graph:

As can easily be seen, the scam artists LOWERED the measured temperatures before 2000 and have raised them after 2000. That shows a warming according to the corrected temperatures.

If you look at the measured temperatures, you'll see variations but no overall warming temperatures. They aren't even good liars.

Carbs...I guess my 57 BelAir wagon needs fuel injection then. I guess I should keep volcanoes from erupting....

Why don’t they just cut to the chase, and say it....

Humans cause global warming, and the only solution is for all you peons to kill yourself.

I’m diabetic and I eat carbs. Take more insulin, however.
