Julie can find sources on the internet that say exactly that, and
she's pretty much a simpleton. There are things called essential
amino acids and essential fatty acids, but there aren't essential
carbs. If a child is getting fat, cut the carbs. If (s)he is too
thin, increase the carbs. It really is tragic that a human being--
with the same feelings as everyone who is reading this has--can be
condemned at such an early age to a life that is so unnecessarily
disadvantaged. I wasn't kidding when I wrote that letting your
daughter become obese is worse than whoring her out.
