OK, this low carb bullshit has to stop. Now.

I understand this Atkins thing is popular, and it even gives good results as long as you only snack on ham cubes for the rest of your life. And I can understand why Subway is offering low carb wraps, as it fits in with their healthy alternative advertising without throwing Jared at us again.

But low carb beer? Folks, beer is nothing but carbs. Do us all a favor and drink water instead. And then there's the local coffee place who just tonight advertised their low carb coffee offerings. Oddly, black was not one of them.

I'm not exactly the model of utmost health and nutrition, but you know what? It's not going to kill you if you have a side of potato salad every once in a while. Just don't scarf a pound of the stuff.

Speaking of which, there's apparently a study out connecting portion size to obesity, which shouldn't surprise anyone who asked for a small soda at McDonalds and got what we knew in our youth as a large.
