...unejoyable eating experiences.

There is fantastic healthy food out there, it is more the fault of health nuts imposing repressive lifestyles on people to meet unrealistic and unhappy life goals.



Enjoy what you eat. My dad, overweight as he is, is a much happier person than many of his thin friends. My uncle is ultrafit, runs marathons, eats right etc. etc. and has had 2 heart attacks. My dad may die a bit earlier than some healthier people but he'll die happier.

Sure, you can combine health and happiness but it is not done by many.

And yes there are many unhappy, overweight people. Some of that lot are unhappy because they are made to feel ugly thanks to the media and money-making diet and body-image nazis.


I guess, as usual, moderation is key.


And that brocolli arguement is just terrible Jeremy! People can get used to eating maggots and horse manure too you know.
