A friend of mine has a new weblog, Low Carb Art and Science, which some of you might be interested in (or not). I do think it is ironic since this is an individual who presumably is in favor of a diet of red beans & rice. If you want a more eclectic range of posts on diet you might want to check out FuturPundit.

Every one has seen those National Geographic specials where some natives somewhere are eating insects,…
tx for the plug. fat booties are a gift to man, of course, but too much blood sugar will result in more glycation of proteins -- collagen being one of the most vulnerable. seeing something like that deflate is sad.
I am a low-carber and i appreciate this link very much. Like your friend, I also prefer and am in favor of a diet of beans and rice. I used to be a vegan before being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. My diabetes is now under good control without insulin and with the bare minimum of a single medication (Metformin), due solely to my low-carb diet. Despite my best efforts (and they're good efforts; I'm a creative cook) I can't make a low-carb diet out of vegetables. It's SO frustrating!

I don't know about you but I LOVE red beans and rice! Maybe that's because I'm from Louisiana...I'm definitely in favor of any diet that incorporates red beans!
