Just Say No to Atkins

This is a meat and potatoes country for sure and Tuesday night's meal typified that. I ordered fish and chips and Hart had chicken and chips. The fish was breaded and fried, of course, and so were the chicken breasts. Along with the chips (french fries), both meals included a salad. In fact, both meals included two salads; one green salad that was more like garnish with dressing and a large helping of past salad, which was spiral noodles with canned peas, corn, orange segments and mango mixed in. It wasn't a bad meal, but it wasn't for the low-carb crazed.

Our trips to the grocery store have also revealed a diet that's focused around the benefits of carbohydrates. It is strange to see Kellog's cereal with "High in Carbos!" on the side of the box. Hart and I are thrilled since we would both be happy to eat only bread and cookies.
