Brian Iocco

A reality show about a Louisiana family who make duck calls takes over more of this blog than anything else, and Brian Iocco is unembarrassed about it. He covers the show's growth, the rumours that circled it, the production shutting down and starting again, and what faith actually means to the family at the centre of it.

The health posts are the other half and they read as collected rather than researched. Coffee, apple juice, sushi, the case for going without animal products, and a piece on trans fat and its link to obesity and diabetes.

One question gets asked more usefully than the rest: whether counting calories is worth the effort at all, or whether it becomes its own distraction.

There is an awards night write-up and some election coverage, both passed along from elsewhere.

If the show is your thing, this is where somebody wrote about it week by week rather than reviewing it once.
