How is you?!
Cacao and coconuts? That sounds alliteratively indulgent.
I watched a Google video containing a talk given by Gary Taubes, the author of Good Calories, Bad Calories. I disagreed with many of his points (he advocates a low carb diet), but he brought up a new(ish) and interesting theory of weight gain - it's due to excess fat, not positive caloric balance. He suggests that a high carb diet increases insulin, which increases fat. He touched upon another interesting fact, that there are many, many, many cases of malnourished children turning into obese adults, despite having a lower calorie diet and high energy output. I wonder why that is? It was a long video and I largely disagreed with his points, but it did make me want to investigate raw foods and their role in making insulin.
What've you been up to?
I bet you haven't, and that's just non-pesticided peachy. I have a DVD that my neighbor keeps insisting I watch. It's called Broken Wings or something and it stars..Toby Keith.
...
Toby Keith.
Needless to say, it's been collecting dust. I think my fave recent movie watched is Catch 22.
I was really impressed by the TC farmer's market. The produce was gorgeous and the prices were good. We went on Wed and I guess the one on Sat is even better. There's even a kombucha guy:)I bought a 10lb flat of blueberries:)
