I noticed this especially on the reservation, where decades of crummy government food programs kept people fed, but with very poor health. I keep thinking that if the Indians returned to their ancestral foods (and I don't mean fry bread!), they would have better health. Ancestral foods are generally low carb. My own ancestry is partly Norwegian & I found out I LOVE seafood - especially sardines (but I'm not going near lutefisk  ).
