This refusal to publish web-distributed papers is a rear guard
action by traditional venues threatened by new technology.  It will
pass.  In the meantime, I do not submit papers to journals that make
that stipulation.  The value of the journal outlet is the peer
review process and the open criticism to which claims are subject.
The journal name becomes a quality signal that saves search costs.
In the information age, these quality signals will take many forms.
Authority and knowledge will be decentralized and knowledge
communities, such as this one, will evolve the criteria that are
appropriate to the problems they seek to address.

While much has been made of the racial and cultural distribution of
the ravages of drugs and of the destruction of inner city culture
by the war on drugs, I see too little concern over the ravages of
high glycemic carbohydrate diet on Amerindians, Mexican Americans,
and African Americans.  NIDDM is near epidemic proportions among
these groups and African-American females, who already
disproportionately bear the burden of the war on drugs because of
what it has done to the competition for mates, are at high risk (a
risk that may reach that of the Pima).

An african-american child, raised in a northern city, with too
little sunlight and eating a high glycemic, high carbohydrate diet,
drinking whole milk and eating grains may be the prototype for a
non-insulin dependent diabetic adult.  School lunch programs almost
by design fit that pattern---they are nearly identical to the
federal food distributions that ravaged the american indians
(Diabetes as a Disease of Civilization).

The AHA diet and the food industry (primarily carb producers)
sponsored food pyramid are one-diet-fits-all-people models.  They
are wrong and they are potentially highly destructive.  They are (in
my opinion, at least) contrary to the health interests of people
from nearly all cultures that adapted late to agriculture.  I have
no evidence, but it does seem that "soul food" with its greens and
fat and high protein beans is far better adapted to an african
american genetic profile which exhibits high proportions of lactose
intolerance and insulin resistance.  (Any thoughts on that?)

Scotty Pippen endorsing milk and Oprah pushing carbs in her book
are unwittingly harming those who share their genetic and cultural
heritage.  Even as a NEPHS (northern european paleolithic homo
sapien) I don't touch this stuff.
