You nailed it Mdep! One of the issues in North America is the quantity of food eaten, and also the way it's processed. 90% of the world's population eat food for what it is, a fuel to sustain their lives. Not for entertainement, not to compensate boredom or other emotions. But I should shut my mouth because I'm a low-carber too!  

I really, really, don't have problem if someone goes low-carb because it works well for them. What irritates me is when someone thinks low-carb (and often high fat) is the ONLY way to good health. 

I'm down about 35 pounds since January, and someone at work said, "wow you look great, you must be going low carb." I had to say "no way, I eat a sandwich most every day for lunch, and i take my daughter out for bagels once a week." I just have half a sandwich now, and I usually get a bagel thin with egg whites, but I definitely am not low carb!  

Good luck on your trip, by the way.
