Atkins? Carbs?

Chef Marcus Samuelsson tells the New York Times his opinions about the current no-carb craze:

Potatoes and rice have been the bulk of our food for thousands of years. But in 2003 it became a problem? Come on. There’s got to be a balance in your life. If you don’t have that, don’t blame the potato.
