Kimkins Controversy - Kimkins Scam

The Cost of Obesity

I was almost going to write a post with some lame jokey title referencing giant peaches, because of this article about the obesity rate in Georgia. As I read the article, I came to realize that the state wasn’t a standout in the statistics, there are a few with worse numbers.

The estimate of the COST of obesity is worth commenting on. The seven figure Kimkins scam is small potatoes compared to the $2.1 BILLION that State officials have estimated obesity costs Georgia every year. I haven’t formed a solid opinion on this type of statistic. I would be interested to see what other people have to say.

WOEOTD: Raw Food Diet

I am going to start featuring a different Way of Eating every few days. I am not promoting or criticizing any of these. I am instead going to present them without much commentary beyond a basic description.

The first Way of Eating of the Day is Raw Food. This is kinda like the Bones and Raw Food (BARF) diet that was all the rage for dogs recently…except without the bones.

The above press release gives you the gist of what FoodConnect.com is all about. I have visited the site a few times and I find it to be quite entertaining. I haven’t come away with any must make recipes yet. As often as not, I am vicariously entertained by websites about food. I have a pretty stable diet that I don’t deviate from that much. I am thinking about submitting a few recipes to see what dietary values are spit out. You really have to take some of the values with a grain of salt because they are dependent on user inputs. I actually find the cocktails to be the most entertaining, or more accurately I find the people who leave comments after trying out drink recipes to be a hoot. Here is a recipe for Captain Morgan’s Steamy Applecolada Dream.
