Counter point, and a tangent

the critic is misguided in many ways...

step back to MKF Fisher's world, Food was still food. Carbs didn't matter because very little of the food was processed, you had to make it, and fats weren't shunned but embraced, butter was critical, fat rendered from cooking was cherished and saved and used. they didn't look for lean protiens or only this part of the cow, they ate the whole damn cow, sheep or whatever, for the most part. Sure there were plenty who prized and valued a certain part, but hey. Real. Fruit was far more seasonal, or it was preserved. When you preserved your own, you had a finite amount. You didn't have a pile of fruit everyday all year. It was a treat. Sure you ate it every day it was in the trees, at the farm stand.

Then? You had to make it.

All of it.

yourself.

or someone else did.

Comparing that author enjoying food to modern americans enjoying what they consider food? not even close.

But yeah - no content zero here, ramble and critique someone's work. I wonder what it is like to write and create content. Someday maybe i'll try it sometime.

Here's someone who made some content that makes a ton of sense on this issue, emphasises the bottom line: try it yourself.

the other big key being missed with the realization that everyone's been blaming the butter for what the bread did...

it isn't to eliminate carbs completely, even Noakes doesn't say that. Just limit it, reduce it. not make it the biggest source of calories.

There's lots of science out there: http://annals.org/article.aspx?articleid=1900694 for one...

You can make it simple. make it about insulin and how you treat your pancrease.

Meant to just be a simple post, one that I wanted to end on a positive not that due to the rediculous comparison I now want to read MKF Fisher's book.

But things get derailed, other conversations tank moods and tones change. One of these days I'll get the Quad debacle written up. Legs are STILL trashed from it. But at least I'm not trying to dig out of a Vegas hole this year.  Hmm now that I think of it, i'm actually still trying to climb out of a much much much deeper hole I dug. Bottom line? Have to remake this season. Need some introspection time...  revamp (erase all) expectations.  Riverpoint CX and Quad have been good.

They've reminded me of the joy I have just racing. Even not fit. Even super slow. It is pretty special.

Food's far more important than racing. Creating food and wonderful meals and teaching good eating habits is really my primary focus...  cyclocross keeps me centered, and bikes and art are my life. Always have been, with luck always will be.
