What if we all low carbed ?

Anyone who knows me, has heard the low carb message. It’s pretty much become a part-time job spreading the word. I have been described as a low carb evangelist, a fanatic, a nutter and a broken record, and that’s only the good stuff. The bad stuff is not fit to repeat here, women and possibly some kids may read this blog. You get my drift.

Us low carb believers, believe in the way of life totally, by definition we would like to see everyone, both diabetics and non diabetics drop the high carb/sugar diet and see the light, but what if they did ?

Check out your local supermarket, almost everywhere you look, its ready meals, bread, rice, pastry, cereals, pasta, cakes, biscuits, crisps, sweets,etc.etc. High carb/sugar foods wherever you look. So, what if we strip out all that food ? Well, there would be one hell of a lot of empty shelves. No problem, restack the shelves with real food, food that I call clean food. Food that has had minimal intervention by man. Food that is not full of chemical preservatives, sugar, artificial colouring, flavourings, in short, not full of poison, and often more indicative of a failed science experiment, than real fresh healthy food.

So everyone goes low carb, real food, great eh. Maybe not, the big problem is we could not produce enough to keep everyone happy and well fed. Someone once said “be careful what you wish for, you might just get what you want”

Ever wondered why the American food pyramid was set up and adopted over here? Do you think the boffins and politicians really thought basing diets on starch and sugar, was a way to a healthy population ? No way, it was a way to keep the masses toiling away, and with enough cheap calories to keep the factories and offices making money. Of course, it also put trillions into the pockets of big pharma and the multinational food companies. A win, win situation for some ! But what a cost, to the health, of hundreds of millions of people.
