We get a ridiculous amount
of questions on the carb content of wine
– more proof, I suppose, of the vast
numbers of people trying the low-carb
diets and studiously counting the carb
content of every sip and morsel they put
in their mouths. Presumably between pieces
of bacon and slabs of beef. But God forbid
they eat a piece of toast or drink a glass
of wine. And something about no carrots
or peas, either…
Anyway, in an effort to
get all of you carb-nazis to LIGHTEN UP
(and embrace the concept of healthy moderation,
while you’re at it), we thought we’d
pass along this email joke -- even if
you've all seen it before!
FACTS:
The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer
fewer heart attacks than the British or
Americans.
The French eat a lot of fat and also suffer
fewer heart attacks than the British or
Americans.
The Japanese drink very little red wine
and suffer fewer heart attacks than the
British or Americans.
The Italians drink excessive amounts of
red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks
than the British or Americans.
CONCLUSION:
Eat and drink what you like. Speaking
English is apparently what kills you.
