Just the facts, please.

I'm running with a weekend theme here. I'm tired of being lied to. By the health industries, by the government, by the press and today, I'll add by food manufacturers.

The new Dietary Guidelines for Americans says we should be eating more whole grains. The easiest way to do that, one would think, would be to switch to multi-grain bread.

But not so fast!

Take a look at the nutritional information of that loaf of multi-grain bread. What's the first ingredient? Wheat flour, perhaps? Notice a word missing?

WHOLE!!!

That's right, if it doesn't say whole wheat flour, it's just white bread with some other grains thrown in so it can be called multi-grain.

Bastards.

We're fatter than ever before. The media and all these health associations and government departments are telling us to eat better and get off our duffs, but when one actually makes the decision and the effort to do something, we have to wade into this morass of lies and deceptions.

Zero Trans fat doesn’t automatically mean low in fat. Multi-grain bread isn't a whole grain bread. Don't eat carbs. Do eat carbs. Low protein. High protein. Eat in moderation. Only extremes will make radical changes in your body.

Blah, blah, fucking blah!!!!!

This is giving me a migraine. Or maybe I didn't eat enough carbs today. Or maybe it's because I eat meat. Or maybe it's the preservatives in my food. Or the growth hormones in the chicken I ate. Or the artificial sugars in my diet. Or the air quality in my home. Or dust and pollen. Or mold. Or maybe my hormones are out of whack.

Or maybe it's from bashing my head against the wall trying to figure out what to put in my body to help me lose weight and become healthy again! Yeah, maybe that's it!

Bastards.
