Is it becoming time to make low carb a political issue? I mean, everything else about food production has economic (and hence, political) fallout. Canada is already polarized on the issue. The US is not far behind.

I detest Bush for the deficits, his policies of outsourcing jobs overseas, his anti-gay-marriage bigotry, the Jackson-boob-backlash, and the mishandling of the anti-terror war; his low carb policies are dubious, but Kerry is a big unknown.

Any candidate who taxes sugar, promotes meat, and endorses a revamp of food recommendations based on current and ongoing research will win my vote in a heartbeat. In the meantime, I'll vote against whatever incumbent fails to adopt low-carb policies established by credible research.

However, any incumbent who hammers the ALF, PETA and PCRM will have my support forever.
