This is for you, morgaine_nicely (and anyone else who has issues/concerns with the boom of the Atkins Diet/Lifestyle).

So here is my low carb diet thought of the day: If carbohydrates are so bad, and are the culprit to what is making Americans so fat, and causing various health issues, why does it not seem to affect Asian populations whose diets are plentiful in rice and noodles?

So, my meeting with groan fizzled out yesterday. I knew he was going to be busy in the morning, so we had planned to get together in the afternoon or evening. Wasn't too sure what was going to happen, but sometimes playing things by ear, and making impromptu choices make for the best times. :) But the time kept passing and no word. I did eventually get a call from him and apparently the meeting from the morning lasted until nearly 4pm. In addition, there was another one at 6pm. And the conference had not yet begun! Poor jet lagged Viv, in meetings all day after he'd just arrived late the previous evening! Well, that's business for you. Not to mention he learned by an lj post that his cat Ruby died and he was not there for it. My feelings go out to him. But, it was still neat talking to him over the phone for a few minutes. I now have a voice I can put with the pictures from his website, and his lj posts. And he for me. So yeah, that was neat. He reassured me that he is over here (Orlando and Tampa) frequently so there will be other times to try to meet. Well, no biggie, we will meet up another time. Until then...
