Sars has knocked it out of the park with this essay about low-carb diets and American attitudes toward food and nutrition. Whatever your body type, size, issues or dilemmas, go read the essay now.

Instead of acknowledging that our country has a problem with obesity that stems at least in part from inadequate understanding of nutrition and food prep, let’s just take a shortcut and tell everyone not to eat one food group! It’s easy to remember, everyone can still eat monstrously huge portions, and hey, nobody actually dies of scurvy anymore, right? Uch. People, please. It’s a fad, fad diets do not work, it may have worked for you so far but the minute you eat a Goldfish cracker, your gut is going to come busting in the front door with a suitcase tied together with twine, wearing a sombrero and yelling for dinner, period, end of story, thank you, goodbye.

That’s just a taste — the rest is smart and funny and worth your time.
