While Waiting for my Low Glycemic Evolution, by Saul

Low Gycemic Index, low glycemic foods; well, I have to admit that there is something to it in feeling better, but I’m still suspicious of what’s going on in our life styles if we have to even limit ourselves so much in categories of foods that by many standards we should be able to eat without impunity; wholesome, natural, organic, simple, easy to prepare. Why can’t we just eat low on the food chain and not overeat? Is there something physiologically inherent within our human bodies that impels us to eat more sweets, more carbohydrates when they are convenient? Is the tendency to lose control over our appetites so strongly built in to us that we are hopeless cases? Has our collective human talent for growing, preserving, packaging and distributing food outstripped our evolutionary physiological adaptation by so many tens of thousands of years that only super-human applications of will power can preserve for some of us a semblance of a healthy life style? Does my will power need a boost? If so, I’ll use the concept of low glycemic index in my stockpile of tools to survive to my fittest condition in 21^st Century America. Sign me up!
