Counting Carbs in the Ice Age

Dear Homo Sapiens,
What with finals rapidly approaching, and time being of the essence, today’s post will be anecdotal, which is to say, brief. One of my favorite pastimes is eavesdropping on other peoples conversation, in hopes of hearing something really stupid. Luckily, it seems that the dumber the person the louder he or she speaks, so these moronic conversations are inherently conducive to audibility.

Earlier today, I was in luck. This small group of students was talking about dieting and came to the conclusion that eating as much meat as you wanted was healthy and natural. I’m not sure if this is kosher in regards to the Atkins Diet, or South Beach, or whatever the trendy one is these days, but suffice it say they stated the cavemen ate as much meat as they wanted, and after all, the caveman was the picture of health. (Although admittedly a bit rough around the edges-nothing a salt scrub and good lighting couldn’t fix!)

Now the cavemen, in all their prehistoric glory and nutritional brilliance, were quite the carnivores. I could be wrong, but driving to Steak and Ale is not exactly tantamount to spending a week tracking and killing a wooly mammoth. The last time I checked most people weren’t traveling fifteen miles through the arctic tundra in the process of hunting down a Hershey’s Bar.



Thank you and goodnight!
