To Beer, or not to Beer.

By jimrob | October 7, 2008

As editor of Bacon Bits Quarterly, I try to arrange articles so that ones of similar opinion and topic are grouped together. This results, I believe, in the issue having a good “flow” to it. I don’t know if this is standard practice or not, but I figured it was; like arranging songs with similar tempos or “moods” concurrently on albums.

Well, the reason I bring this up is the October/November issue of Mother Earth News. Toward the middle of the issue, there’s a big huge article on low-carb diets and how to stick to one. There’s a two-column chart on the last page, with one column listing the good foods and the other listing bad. Of course, beer is a big-time no no and the article points this out. All the refined grains, sugars, etc. lead to loads of carbos to affix fat into your body (so says the author.)

The very next article is an equally long one on how to brew your own beer at home. Everything from selecting your hops, grains, and barleys, to how to add enough sugar to make it ferment right. Also tells the best way to consume each one.

Hello? Does that seem odd to anyone else? (For the record, no, I do not have anything better to do today than blog about something as simple and inconsequential as this.)
