I haven't. It reflects very well the diet industry. We are so preoccupied with listening to the so called specialist and forget to look inward. Veey good and funny :-)

yeah, this is why I disregard all alarmist articles about food. I look for an oldskool type balanced diet with the 4 food groups. Before all these stupid food pyramids and crap (eat all this grain! barely eat any protein! what a great idea!) got produced by the government trying to peddle us whatever crop they're subsidizing.

I don't pretend to eat healthy or clean. Social signalling with food is out of my fashion zone.

Therefore, the only thing hard about eating is the challenge of nomnoming without biting my lip. That's what "mindful" eating means to me. I.E., "Pay attention to the lip!"

We must all be prepared to adjust our knowledge base as new information becomes available. Science is the constant struggle to amass and analyze the data that helps us get closer to knowing the truth. This is especially true in complex areas like health and nutrition.

When I joined Weight Watchers in the early 1970s, we were required to eat tuna 5 times a week and liver once a week. Were they stupid then? No, they were operating based on their interpretation of the best knowledge available then. I was wearing striped bell bottoms at the time. I was not out of style.
