An all-American cookout
Hmm … I wonder what I should have for dinner on Labor Day …
Vegetarians are full of crap

What do you get when you take a stand-up comic with a sarcastic streak and a libertarian outlook, mix in a background in math and hard science, and top with a penchant for debunking junk science for fun?
You get Tom Naughton, the brains behind Fat Head: You’ve been fed a load of bologna, a documentary response to Morgan Spurlock’s Super Size Me
Fat Head showed that Spurlock got the science of diet and health mostly wrong, and to prove the point Naughton went on an all-fast-food diet and lost weight, improved his blood work, and boosted his energy.
Vegetarians hate that
How To Make Low-carb Kabobs Indoors
When it’s grilling weather, beef kabobs are a great, quick dinner. But sometimes it’s raining. Then of course there’s that 8-month Cleveland winter, where you don’t want to be outside if you can help it. (Okay, fine, I’m exaggerating. A little.)

Dieting has ALWAYS sucked
Image from The Advertising Archives
When I started this blog I asked what you don’t like about diets. The results have been remarkably consistent right from the beginning:
- It doesn’t work, and
- You can’t stick to it.
Which is funny, because if it’s not working why would you want to stick to it?
Darya Pino over at Summer Tomato made most of the same points plus a few more when she explained 10 Reasons Dieting Is Idiotic. She also pointed out that dieting screws up your thinking about food. You start seeing food as the enemy, instead of an enjoyable part of life.
This is not new
World’s simplest diet

There is actually a restaurant in Dallas that serves pre-portioned, packaged meals that you buy and microwave right there in the restaurant. It’s like the Lean Cuisine aisle at the grocery store, but not frozen. I’m not kidding.
Okay, so the restaurant was founded by a personal trainer whose clients wouldn’t or couldn’t follow his nutritional advice. That’s cool, actually: See a problem, do something about it. I can respect that.
So how is the execution? Well …

You have better things to do than count calories

Remember second grade when your teacher asked what you wanted to be when you grew up? Maybe you wanted to be a cowboy, or a doctor, or an astronaut, or a supermodel. Or a tap-dancing ballerina fairy princess veterinarian. Sure, why not? Aim high.
But one thing I can guarantee you didn’t say is, “I want to be the world champion at weighing and recording every scrap of food I eat.” If you did say that, please go find another blog, because I don’t have the training to deal with that kind of emotional disorder.

BLT on fried cheese
There’s a farmers market down the street from my office once a week, and the tomatoes are coming in. Which means it’s BLT season.[1] Since I don’t eat toast, my first thought was to do it as a lettuce wrap. Then I had a revelation …
