Everyone knows we should all eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Just like a hundred years ago everyone knew smoking was good for you.
Hold on, am I saying fruits and vegetables are bad for you? Not exactly. What I’m saying is … [Read more…]
Americans spend billions of dollars per year on diet pills, and the amount is growing fast: $35 billion a year in December, 2006, up to $40 billion a year by January, 2008.*
But you don’t need pills to kill your appetite, all you need to do is read about this guy Steve just before you go to lunch. You won’t be able to hold anything down. My gift to you for a Friday morning.

I didn’t used to think I liked guacamole. Then I had Lori’s and I realized I don’t like bad guacamole. And of course most people think they shouldn’t eat guac or avocados because of all the fat, when the truth is the carbs in chips are the real problem.
You can watch Lori and I make this on video if you’re unsure about the directions on the recipe card.

You know that little voice in the back of your head? The one that — when no one else is around to criticize — just can’t wait to tell you how you’re screwing up?

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
And started eating Brussels sprouts. What the hell was I waiting for, these things are good!
But yeah, you might want to go with something else if you’re going to be in a small room with anyone else after you eat them. Cabbage farts linger …
