Ok. So I am watching CBS this morning and was half listening to a segment about peleolithic diets with a researcher saying yes they were healthy with no heart problems etc. but they didn't live long and showed a cave man being smashed by a boulder. I thought to myself, are you insinuating that yes low carb is healthy now but int he long run we just don't know because cave men didn't live long enough for us to know? What? And then it goes on to say that the reason they didn't eat starches or grains is because you have to cook to digest them and cavemen didn't cook. So the researcher said we should combine paleolithic healthy diet with carbs because of modern technology and put an equation in big letters on the screen, I believe it was Ancient Diets + Modern Technology = Healthy Diets. They later said that afterall ancients didn't always have the best ideas stating that those in Napoleans time robbed graves for Egyptian mummies and ate them, and that foe centuries sailors thought they could live on just dried meat and biscuits and they got scurvy. When it was all over it announced this segment was funded by AstraZeneca!!!
Earlier they had a segment on hot dogs mexican style which have chorizo topping and I think I saw cooked wrapped in bacon and Mo Rocca said "can I get some Lipitor to go on top of that?"
Talk about subtle marketing with your laid back Sunday morning arts and humanities news show....
