An article

If you’ve found this an interesting read, then we have included a little bonus
section for you, right here.

Rob, believing the pen to be mightier than the sword, just wanted to write a
bit more on the subject at hand. He recently wrote a blog article, and if
you’re really at a loose end with nothing better to do, then please read on:

Potato, potah-to…

So, in oversimplified fashion, you either belong to the Tim Noakes fraternity,
who believes that potatoes are bad and evil (more about that in Chapter 4),
or you belong to the Angus Buchan fraternity, who preaches that you should
have faith like them.

Jokes aside, just how bad are potatoes for you, and what’s the real skinny on
carbohydrates?

If you’re like me, your eyes start to glaze over (like fruit on top of a
cheesecake, or like ham in aspic) – but not before you’ve rolled them – the
minute someone says the word “Banting.” It just seems like information
overload – another fad where the facts are blurred by the hype.

But, if you’re also like me, the truth is that your health has started to give you
hassles, and you’re not sure if you’re going to make it to your next decade
birthday, be it 50, 60, 70 or 80. The problem, of course, is exacerbated by the
huge amount of literature there is out there. Just how much of it can you
trust?
