Weekend Links

I have a bunch of stuff I want to get posted before rolling out of town for a few weeks. 

The first posts are Parts 3 and  4 of the Benefits of High-Saturated Fat Diets.

From Livin' La Vida Low Carb, here are dozens of links to various low-carb websites

I have talked about the movie "King Corn" previously.  It is a great compliment to 'Omnivore's Dilemma" and I highly recommend renting it.  Trailer for King Corn.

This one may piss you off a bit.  It is brief, but it shows what happens when people with agendas convince our brilliant politicians that something must be done.  The result of this hearing contributed greatly to the food pyramid, rampant obesity, type 2 diabetes and CVD out the rear-end.  The McGovern Report.
