MAS o Menos

One of my new favorite blogs is PaNu. It’s tagline is paleolithic nutrition – duplicating the evolutionary metabolic milieu. At times it is a tough read, but I’ve got enough background reading this stuff to be fascinated in learning more about evolutionary nutrition from the prospective of a medical doctor.

I’m currently half-way through the landmark book Good Calories, Bad Caloies by Gary Taubes.  It that book you learn early on how the government came about to falsely promote a low-fat, high carbohydrate diet.  It is a fascinating read and I’ll be posting more on that book later.  But for now, I want to share something Doctor Kurt wrote in response to trusting government studies.  From the comment section of Do You Believe in Magic?

How in the hell can you trust the government that has been telling you to eat carbs since the 70’s?  They have killed more people with their advice than Pol Pot?

I am absolutely mystified at this faith in government. They are killing us and so we should write them letters?

Amen!
