> When I tell them that a regular baked potato or red potatoes have glycemic index values of around 85-89 and that potato ships are around 50-55 they are stunned I'm frankly SHOCKED by the amount of people I encounter on a daily basis -- even my own damn significant other -- who have no idea what a carbohydrate even is. I love my SO to death, but I was appalled he had no idea grains and potatoes were carbs, and he is very well educated and works in tech. If someone like my SO can't understand what a carb is, how do you expect your average American to get it? Nutrition education in this country is so disappointing. |
