Of course. What ivory tower do you live in? Carbohydrates are the
staple food of millions of Americans.


Yep. And that's why so many Americans are so fat.


Then how does that explain America continuing to get fatter when the low
carb craze came in, and low carbers failing to lose weight as much as
everyone else? And most of the few skinny Americans eating at Old
Country Buffet having their calorie intake mainly from carbs?

And overweightness increasing in Japan when the diet there gained fat
and protein content, especially fat content? What about the diets and
overweightness rates in India and China?
