Atkins Nightmare

Rwanda is an Atkins nightmare.  The best restaurant near my hotel serves a set lunch that consists almost entirely of carbs.  Large portions of rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes and French fries topped off with a small serving of beans, maybe some greens (not sure exactly what kind) and a small piece of jaw-breaking beef.  The percentage of Rwandans working desk jobs is negligible, and most people do some kind of physical labor. Obesity is almost unheard of.  Maybe Dr. Atkins should look into that.
