Roll Reversal
Three women from Los Angeles just started a company called Carb Couture with the aim to defend their right to enjoy carbs. How silly is this? It is really sad when people feel so threatened by their environment that they have to declare their love of a food and right to eat it. I know, I come from the opposite place. Up until this year, or at most last year, my low carb ways were ridiculed by a majority of people as unhealthy. Now the tables have turned and those who eat lots of carbs are apparently getting the brunt of some people’s ire, at least in LA. I think what this shows mostly is that people shouldn’t be critical of other’s eating habits. Still, while I was being assailed by friends or colleagues as that wacky guy who used to be a vegetarian and is now on that “meat diet,” I didn’t make up T-shirts saying “If God didn’t want us to eat animals, why did he make them out of meat?” No, it was a personal choice, one that I didn’t feel I had to defend to the world (just a few lucky friends and family members ;-) ). Hey, if these women want to talk about how they “love their carbs” more power to them. I love carbs too, they just don’t love me. They tolerate me at best.
The problem is that in today's society too many people want to dictate to
others how they should live. The US government itself has fostered this
new epidemic of "food and people" discrimination.

Mary, I agree with you, food and health has become such a public issue that
the government and then by extension many individuals feel it's their right
to "warn" you against what they perceive as a danger. The problem is that
so much of this is based on science that is on shakey foundations if not
outright wrong, but if you say it enough times, people will believe it and
they can't even tell you WHY it is true. But that doesn't stop them from
butting into your personal business...

Unfortunately much of what is happening atm is not solely based on science.
:-)
here are some facts I wrote about. It may sound like
Bush bashing, but it was more intended to open eyes to what is happening to
us.
Have a wonderful day!

Hi Levi,
I just now read your comment that was left on my blog. Thanks
for responding. I agree, it is not just Bush! I have recently stated to
others that it is governement in general and yes the health care field. I
am really frightened for the future of our children and grandchildren. I
have been working in the health care field now for almost 27 years as a
nurse.
The more I research and the more I speak with people, the more
frightened I become. It seems not just a money issue but control of the
masses by most any means that keeps coming to mind. People need to wake up
to what is happening in society.
Myself? I will be dead and gone before
things reach a peak on the self destructive path of the future. It is not I
that I fear for, but humanity as a whole.
