Something tells me
turning up the AC and ditching the free coffee wouldn’t go
over very well in the office, no matter how valid the research.
Things I’m Up to and Interested In
Great news: The American Diabetes Association and the European
Association for the Study of Diabetes both
officially approve of low-carb diets.
Phrase I’m digging: “Big
Pasta.”
Historical quirk I’ve always loved: The Chinese obsession
with mangos during the Cultural Revolution.
Essay I enjoyed:
How low-ish carb makes sustainable dieting as easy as
breathing.
I’m seeing a lot of “causal” language that I don’t think
is warranted (and I’m no fan of sugar): Too much sugar
“makes
children more violent and more likely to get drunk or
smoke.”

Comment of the Week
“Never saw the point of Zero. If I record that I started
fasting at 20:00 and ended it at 12:00, Zero calculates that I have
fasted for 16 hours.The same way that my brain does it.”
– Ha, Britalliano.
I feel about the same, but I’ve talked to a number of people who
really find it helps.
