Word salad, anyone?
Do you want to be hip? Do you want to be cool? Well, just hop aboard the next new bandwagon that comes along… and there you are.
At the supermarket today, the PA system kept babbling about “loving your keto lifestyle.” I have no idea what that means. I thought at first that it might have something to do with Quito, Ecuador. But how do you acquire a Quito lifestyle if you’re not in Quito?
Criky. “Keto” came along a few months ago and now there’s a Keto lifestyle? Patty explained: it has to do with eliminating carbohydrates from your diet. Doesn’t sound like an altogether good idea, but that’s fad diets for you.
I refuse to add any of these newly-minted twaddles to my lexicon. If you can’t express it in a real language–English, Spanish, Welsh, whatever–it’s most unlikely you have anything worthwhile to say.
We seem to be reconstructing the Tower of Babel, complete with a confusion of the language so that those who participate can’t meaningfully communicate anymore.
But that’s OK. A new global government will take care of everything.
Ketogenic diets basically consist of a lot of meat, and non-starch vegetables. They are effective for weight reduction, but there are varying opinions as to possible negative effects.
I don’t think these people know what they’re talking about.
Keto is a little too strict for me, but low carb is the way to go for health. So many diseases stem from too much insulin and inflammation, which is exacerbated by too much carbs.
