I was joking--but I either had a point in my tomfoolery, or am willing to do a little backfilling, and make like I had a point.

I sort of have a problem when it comes to "eat what your ancestors eat" as a prime directive. A lot of people follow that through to its logical conclusion... and end up macronutrient "agnostic," which I think is a mistake that insulin sensitive people can afford to make, but as for the rest of us... in my family, perogies are a tradition, but then, so is celiac.

I don't eat low carb because my ancestors ate low carb. I eat low carb because, unlike the SAD, this diet doesn't seem to be making any obvious attacks on my health and well-being.
