I just read the most frightening article. If there's one favorite food category for me, it would have to be carbs. I love bread, I love rice, I love potatoes....OH do I love potatoes. French fries, baked potatoes, tater tots, mashed potatoes, yum, yum, YUM! That trendy no-starch diet would kill me.

Imagine my dismay when I sat down to surf the news today, only to discover that the latest and greatest studies show that starches could kill you! I am so horrified. Apparently, fried and baked goods are loaded with carcinogens. Boiled is safe...but boiled? Yuck.

This is almost as scary as when I was on my high school debate team and uncovered tons and tons of evidence that the world was going to end. That's right - it's only a matter of time before another speeding asteroid crashes into our puny earth and wipes us out, just like the dinosaurs.

Extinction and cancer-causing fries. Such terrible, terrible, things.
