..."Still, the recent arguments against wheat and grains do seem really convincing. But then again, not all that long ago, arguments against dietary fat seemed really convincing. Then arguments against all carbohydrates, not just grains. Then arguments against all high-gycemic foods. And arguments against dairy. And arguments against eggs. And arguments against meat. And arguments against all animal products. And arguments against salt. And arguments against saturated fat. And arguments against tropical oils. And arguments against trans fat. And arguments against sugar in general, and fructose in particular. And arguments against gluten. And arguments against GMOs. And... well, you get the idea. All made persuasively, and with an application of religious zeal.
Of course, if any one of these arguments was truly valid about the one thing truly wrong with our diets, it would mean all the others are wrong. Of course we could account for that; eating the wrong foods has clearly made all the "other" guys dopey.
But maybe the only truly safe thing to do is assume they are all right. That's what I'm going to do.
I've been sitting here on my fat tush long enough, and I'm off to start my next diet. I suppose I might attribute my excess poundage and listless mind to the hours in this chair in front of this screen, but there's no popular book telling me to do that, so to hell with it. It's the damn grains/sugar/carbs/wheat/GMOs/animal foods/etc.
My plan is to head on over to the fast food restaurant, and buy just about anything they sell. It doesn't matter, because I intend to dump out the alleged food anyway; clearly nobody should be eating that crap. I intend to eat the Styrofoam."...
Eating the styrofoam might be a good idea -- high in fiber, goes right thru your system without releasing stuff that will clog your arteries, no insulin release, etc. lol
