Is this a joke? I've seen 90% of these - some of them multiple times.

Luke Harding is a total joke. And so is The Guardian.

About 3 years ago I was told by my GP that I was "pre-diabetic". She told me to cut-out carbs (basically Atkins diet). I was sceptical but gave it a try.

It was difficult to give up wheat products such as bread and pasta as well as rice and (very hard) beer. I stuck it for about 6 months after which my indicators had all returned to normal and I felt as healthy as I have ever felt.

Subsequently, I have drifted away from the low-carb regime (we live in an ocean of carbs) and am paying the price. I do intend to go back to it over this summer, the beer is a problem though!

I can find different experts to dispute practically every single thing in that article. Nutrition is a mine-field where fads and trends appear and disappear with alarming rapidity.

I use a (what?) 2g cell phone. I only use it for texting and as an alarm clock and mp3 player. It has excellent battery life and does exactly what I want it to and no more.

I think he had a point about the pernicious, desensitizing, deadening effects of technology. Doesn't condone what he did to protest it though, but he had a point.

Chomsky said that he always reads the FT (& WSJ) because their audience really need accurate info to make their speculative bets!

Reply to The ‘Roseanne’ Reboot Is Funny. I’m Not Going to Keep Watching. by hotcool

Is Roseanne racist? This is an honest question. The article claims she is but I have never seen any evidence for it. I don't follow these showbiz things very closely though so I may well have missed it.
