Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any tips for novice blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.

Bad news, Wayne – for Diabetes, you need to care about the glycemic index of the foods you consume. The poor spud ranks worse then eating a comparable volume of straight sugar . . .

Our food triangle was made by agribusiness and rubber stamped by the gov’t. It is one of the reasons why we are so fat: people naturally gravitate to authority, so they follow guidelines that make themselves, and agribusiness fat.

I wish I could blame society for my 270 lbs. but I can’t. I just loves my porkchops!

I am a 70 year old farm boy who ate potatoes for almost every meal. Recently was diagnosed with Type2 Diabewhatever and am having trouble with what to do with my beloved spuds. Some say count calories. Others say count carbs. I say to heck with them all, I will eat them whatever they are called. Nobody lives forever and at this point in life I just want to have fun.

Just remember to count the calories in those “low fat”, ”super carb” fries.

no matter how good (or bad) the food you eat is for you, if it contains more calories than you use, you are gaining weight.
