Careful consumption is top nof the list these days. On top of the 40+ minutes daily on the old elliptical, I am extremely careful about those nasty sugars and carbs. Maybe that’s why the ridiculously obvious decline in the state of the average American’s health is so morbidly apparent, so much moreso though a scant few months ago.

Maybe you’re not one of them, but I guarantee you know someone who is. It makes me think of those old stories about tough situations – sometimes a top law school, sometimes Army Rangers or something like that, but always the same basic anecdote. The guy at the front of the room says look to your right and look to your left, one of those people won’t be here when we finish.

Update it – look to your right and look to your left, one of those people is slowly dying because of the crap we let them consume. Why aren’t there more people going for Dietician or Nutritionist jobs? You’d think there’d be a massive call. Yet it is virtually impossible to find someone who isn’t just towing the Washington lobbyist driven FDA line. I mean, really, do you think an organization that takes direction from politicians with virtually no input from people in the medical profession has anything really valuable to tell you about healthy eating habits?

You may think it’s an expert in nutrition that is telling you how much bread and grains to eat, but the tragic reality is that the folks at Wonder Bread have way more say that any expert – or rather, any non-Marketing oriented expert.
