Check out this article... http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp..._low_carb_spud

It has some information on a new potato being grown in Florida that was about 30% fewer carbs than your average Russet baking potato. Might be interesting for an occasional-type thing!

Low carb Potato?? I heard about the low carb Krispy Kreme on the news and I'm still shaking my head 2 hours later. I live in the "hometown" of KK.

I heard about this today, too...right after my local news station did yet another segment about how low carb was dangerously high in fat and that the only real diet for health is low fat. puhleeze.

I just read this in today's paper. The new potatoe is said to have 13gms of carbs instead of 19 for the standard russett. Too many for me.

I hear they're coming out with a low-lead bullet. It is 30% less deadly when you shoot yourself in the temple. I can't wait to try it!
