From Scotty at The Skinny White Buddha:
For every diet philosophy there is a counter philosophy and in the end all this arguing over whether carbohydrates are going to kill me or if red meat is going to give me cancer is really divisive and actually weakens our goal to fix our food system. The energy we spend arguing against people with pretty much the same goal of achieving sovereign health is foiled by our egos and rigidness in diet mentality. …
Coming together to create a better world for future generations is much more important then arguing about what amount of carbohydrates causes “insidious” weight gain or how much saturated fat is in the artery clogging milk.
Timely considering the debate is gonna be heating up (thanks HBO!).
