nutritionists

To tell people who are overweight that they need to move around more and count calories is kind of like telling Yogi Bear to leave tourists alone and avoid eating the contents of picnic baskets.  It ain’t gonna happen.

I have long ago surrendered to the fact that logic, reason, science and – yes, even the truth – have overcome the need to manipulate the population with misinformation in order to control them and to wring every bit of money out of them.

I give professional nutritionists the benefit of a doubt — even though two of them wrote this book.  After all, every dietitian I have ever known was “recovering” from at least one eating disorder.  And usually on the “lower serotonin” side of life, probably a little obsessive, maybe a little depressed.

Mostly, these are people who believe everything they are told without questioning, or exist on “wishful thinking.”  Or they have a political or professional agenda. Read more on How Many Calories in B.S.?…
