Something very exciting is happening here on Monday, January 7, 2008! We’re not telling but check back in the morning!

Hey everyone! I wanted to provide a quick update on the status of my beloved producer Kevin Kennedy-Spaien as well as when you can expect new episodes of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore.”

Kevin is still recovering from the injuries he sustained in a pretty major car accident he was in a couple of weeks ago. He had surgery on his right thumb on Friday and is now recuperating at home. He’s still in a lot of pain and will be in a cast for about one month. He also sprained his right ankle in the accident, but is doing better now. Continue to pray for his healing.

So, what about the podcast show? Well, for now it is delayed indefinitely. As the host of the show, I believe there are some things more important to deal with and right now that’s the health and well-being of Kevin Kennedy-Spaien. Kevin is just about the nicest guy you’ll ever meet and is the consummate gentleman and professional in everything he does. I know he’s itching to get back to producing my podcast and he will be in due course. Right now, let’s let him heal and the podcast will come back better than ever in no time.

In the meantime, you can see and hear me and my wife Christine in our “Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb On YouTube” videos and read my columns at my “Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb” blog. THANK YOU for your faithfulness to this podcast show and keep on livin’ la vida low-carb!

Hello and welcome to Episode 90 of the Internet’s foremost outlet for low-carb support and advocacy, “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore!”

Sometimes, we get letters. Sometimes we get very strange letters. Today, our host Jimmy shares with you a commenter’s ramble on the true meaning of Christmas…er, um, I mean obesity. While it may have started out as a well-reasoned treatise that began to wander afield after the author drank one sherry too many. But we can’t help but kind of think he must’ve had a few too many shots from the get-go.

Listen in while Jimmy dissects this letter from a sad “former fat man” who felt compelled to share his rather odd opinions about being obese. It is full of anger, self-hate, bad humor, accusations, philosophy, semantic and linguistic critiques, disappointment, and rudeness. In the end, the writer seems to be using Jimmy as a Freudian surrogate punching bag for his own issues.

See how well our host does in rebutting this insane, psychotic ramble. It’s fun, fun, fun for the entire family!

How’s Hollywood doing when depicting the overweight and obese?

Hello and welcome to Episode 78 of the Internet’s hottest low-carb lifestyle-based podcast, “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore!”

Today, our host Jimmy looks at the two-sided issue of the depiction of obesity in Hollywood films. While it is a good thing (from our perspective) that movies are more comfortable having overweight protagonists, there is a decidedly dark side, too.

Oftentimes, these roles go to svelte actors in “fat suits.” Then, the way these characters are depicted on screen plays right in to asinine stereotypes (fat people are jolly, goofy, effeminate…take your pick). Put those two factors together, and it’s starting to look kinda like a fatty-fatty-two-by-four minstrel show.

Listen in to today’s show to hear Jimmy’s choices for who gets it right, and who’s wide of the mark–then let us know what YOU think by leaving a comment below!

LINKS MENTIONED IN EPISODE 78
- Eddie Murphy’s Norbit movie
- Ryan Reynolds’ Just Friends movie
