Leading the Way in the Fight Against COVID!

As our dear leaders warn about surge upon surge of the coronavirus, wag their fingers at the unmasked, and lecture the unboosted, they're living like it's 2019 after five o'clock. 

Less than a month after Finland's prime minister worried about the burden on hospitals, she was caught clubbing after being exposed to COVID. Although the PM is vaccinated, it should be common sense and common knowledge by now that vaccinated people can easily spread COVID. Their neighbors in Iceland figured this out back in August--"And it has come to light that vaccinated individuals can contract it relatively easily and spread infection. Sequencing has shown us that the origin of most domestic infections can be traced to group events such as clubbing in downtown Reykjavík or group trips abroad," said their Chief Epidemiologist Þórólfur Guðnason.

Here in the states, mask/vax fanatics Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden were caught with their masks down.

Now, I think the masks are useless and I don't wear one unless I have to. Most people where I live don't. But unlike Pelosi and Biden who promoted mask mandates, I don't tell other people to wear them. And the times I've been sick, or thought I might be contagious, I've stayed home. 

Fortunately, there are leaders who are really trying to help. Of course, I'm talking about Dorothy Shephard, the Minister of Health for the Canadian province of New Brunswick. Despite an unlikely background in writing romantic novels and owning and operating a Benjamin Moore [paint] Colour Center, she seems clued in to excess weight as a COVID risk factor. She's therefore taken the bold step of allowing grocery stores to ban unvaccinated people from purchasing food in exchange for high store capacities. I've read elsewhere that so far, no retailer has availed itself of the new rule. 

Meanwhile, the Senate passed the Congressional Review Act, initiated by Indiana's Mike Braun, to nullify the OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) vaccine mandate. It heads to the House.

Dana Carpender's Podcast; Dr. Davis on YouTube; Labor Day Sales

Dana Carpender, who's written several recipe books and other works on low-carb, has a podcast and is still writing articles at carbsmart.com. She's a terrific writer and amateur researcher (otherwise known as reading , as Jimmy Dore jokes ). I use her book 500 Low-Carb Recipes all the time and I'm looking forward to hearing more from her. I've embedded her podcast on my blog (click on the three lines at the top right if you don't see it, or go to Spotify or other podcast source if you're getting this by email). Carbsmart.com doesn't seem to have a blog feed, so if you want to see the latest posts there, you can sign up for notifications at their site. Dr. Davis has been putting a lot more videos on YouTube, so I've added his channel to the lineup.

Fermented bread and butter pickle recipe ft. L. Plantarum

After Dr. Davis said the other night that  L. plantarum  may reduce some of the effects of the herbicide glyphosate (which is everywhere), I'm re-running my recipe for fermented bread and butter pickles. Pickling cucumbers naturally have  L. plantarum  bacteria on them, and fermenting them with some brown sugar multiplies these bacteria. (Just don't use chlorinated water to wash them.) And if you're growing your own cucumbers, avoid spraying the fruits with  Bacillus thuringiensis , or Bt (leaves and vines are OK). It's unclear what effect a big dose of Bt would have on humans. Another benefit of DIY pickles: no emulsifiers like polysorbate 80, which is a common ingredient in pickles. If you have GI problems, it could be from emulsifiers. These sweet-and-sour pickles are the tastiest I've ever made. There's just a little added sugar (some of which the bacteria will consume) and turmeric that gives the pickles their bright color.  Special equipment Quar...

Blog Lineup Change

Bye-bye, Fathead. I've enjoyed the blog, but can't endorse the high-fat, high-carb Perfect Health Diet that somehow makes so much sense to some otherwise bright people. An astrophysicist makes some rookie mistakes on a LC diet, misdiagnoses them, makes up "glucose deficiency," and creates a diet that's been shown in intervention studies to increase small LDL, which can lead to heart disease. A computer programmer believes in the diet and doesn't seem eager to refute it because, perhaps, scientists are freakin' liars and while he's good at spotting logical inconsistencies, lacks some intermediate knowledge of human biology. To Tom's credit, he says it's not the right diet for everyone, but given the truckload of food that has to be prepared and eaten, impracticality of following it while traveling (or even not traveling), and unsuitability for FODMAPs sufferers, diabetics and anyone prone to heart disease (i.e., much of the population), I'm...
