No. One. Ever. All of you have been dieting your whole life. Maybe. Possibly. Even you skinny people. If only because you wanted to be part of the conversation and the Boomlennial is obsessed with this topic. Most of us because we need to be after coming of age in the land of plenty. TV dinners. Mac-N-Cheese, pot pies. And yes that powder in the blue and yellow box is cheese and those little cubes in the pies are vegetables. And to sit in front of the TV with that tray table was the height of fine dining. We slowly expanded our (there is a joke in there somewhere) choices to include anything that could go in the microwave and McDonalds which I thought was going ‘out to eat’. A whole diet and exercise industry was created for us thank goodness because we needed it. And still do. What do we all talk about when we go ‘out to eat’? Exactly. Depending on the current media sway we are counting, discounting calories, carbs, protein, fiber, gluten, chicken beaks, fats, and most things that taste good. Fortunately, wine contains none of these things so we are safe (google it and don’t believe their fake news). And yes it is good for you. And chocolate. And not the bitter dark stuff but the smooth creamy stuff. Lotsnlots of the smooth, creamy stuff. Ok I made that up but we went many years not eating any butter because it was the devil but now margerine is vile which our taste buds already knew but oh well. My advice….don’t eat kale. It is a nasty weed (and yep my mind just took a different route stay tuned) and have a margerita. With salt. Lotsnlots of salt. Also good for you. Google it.
