Right. So what if we've learned that eating too much red meat, eggs, and bacon is bad for us? Atkins says I'll lose weight if I have a burger of that, as long as I don't eat the bun! Losing weight = I'm healthy! Yay!
I'm always reminded of one of my mom's lectures: "You can eat whatever you want, but you have to do it in moderation."
He so is. Not only did he write about beer for a living (making my very popular in college) and now write about outdoors stuff, but he also plays soccer for a league and bass guitar for a blues band. He's one of my best friends.
that's exactly it. when did losing weight quickly become tantamount to health?? hey, when i was in high school, i developed an anxiety disorder and couldn't eat anything but saltines, and i lost thirty pounds in a month! if i can do it, so can you! so scary.
