Latest Low Carb News

Just a quick note to tell you about Low Carb Update:
http://lowcarbupdate.com. It's a website that links to the latest
news about the Atkins diet, South Beach, and other news articles about
losing weight.

Last week there were a ton of articles about the effect of low carb on
the beef and the bread industry. Good for beef, bad for bread.

There was a very disturbing story about PETA. This is an animal
rights group that promotes their cause by a variety of stunts. Some
of their members decided to go after the beef industry by feeding cows
meat to make them lose weight. Evidently - a commentary on the Atkins
diet.

The article doesn't mention it, but feeding cows meat is suspected to
be a contributing cause of mad cow disease. It's possible that they
are trying infect at least one cow. It just takes one to cause havoc.
One sick cow in Canada caused a suspension of the importation of
Canadian meat into the US.

On the lighter side, the lawyers of Catherine Zeta Jones are looking
for someone to sue. Somebody said she was on Atkins. That should be
good for about $10 million. However, her husband, Michael Douglas,
stated publicly, "I don't know anything."

I accessed your site a few minutes ago and liked it very much. But
there's something wrong with your program. I can't print out your index
page. Every time I press the print function on my computer to print it, a
message comes back saying: "There are no pages to print."

I keep the index page (with URL) of all the web sites I like best in a
notebook. This is so 1) I don't lose all the URLs to my favorite web
sites if/when my computer crashes, and 2) I can remind myself what is on
the site when I am offline.

If your program does not allow printing, please consider changing it so
the people who like your site can at least print the title page.

Thanks,
Barbara

Hi Barbara, thanks for your nice comments. I set up no restrictions
on printing my page. It printed ok when I just tried. Maybe you can
try to "select" part of the page, then when you go to print, choose to
"Print Selection."

If you tell more about your printing setup, maybe someone can offer
additional advice. If worse comes to worse, you can print this
message. Hope this helps.

Dave,

I followed the link on your website
(http://news.unclesharky.com/articles/1142). You may want to check
the source on the disturbing PETA story - it's at a satire site. I
think you were fooled on this one.

Wow. I've been watching too many West Wing reruns. Strange thing is
that the link came from the Google News feed. Your right. It's
satire. Makes you think, though. Guess that's what satire's for.
Thanks, Tom.

Thanks, Tom.

yeah, but with it being PETA - it's VERY easy to believe!

One slightly ironic result of PETA's actions would be fewer animals on the
earth. Think about it: if we didn't eat any meat, why keep animals around?
Cows and Pigs aren't especially cute or cuddly.


I disagree! I think they're adorable. (I'm serious, I absolutly love
them both, but especially cows.)

But I do get your premise. Bucky Fuller used to promote eating grains
because of the impact on the earth and starvation of eating animals. He
was my hero, but, at the time, to my knowledge, knew nothing of insulin
resistance. He was always a little chubby, too, lol. My guess is that
I probably ate and/or wasted more meat along with all the other crap
when I wasn't eating low carb than I do now.

Now I am much more conscious of the food I eat, where it comes from, and
am so grateful to the animals and farmers who raise them. We give
thanks to them when we say grace.
