Back in the Saddle

The move is complete. I'm almost to the stage of calling us moved into the new house. Boxes and paper still dominate the landscape and I can't find a thing. Nothing shakes up life like moving to a new climate, a new house with new surroundings and a new position of gainful employment. Unfortunately nutrition has been on a back burner with most meals consisting of easily prepared semi-palatable industrial dishes of the fast food variety. I will say this: I'm almost certain I've lost weight during the entire process. Maybe a new diet?

A Point of View

Modern Western society is awash in a sea of food affluence. For many of us, from the moment we arise in the morning to the time we fall asleep at night, the one rhythmic pattern occurring daily with anticipated consistency is food intake—and in many cases very high quality food intake. Even the smallest of excess calories consumed daily translates over time to excess energy being stored as fat in adipose tissue. ______________________________________ Overeating has become the symptom of a cultural disease associated with conditioned food intake, not a mystical physiologic process involving genes gone wild. From one diet manual to the next, the book offerings to navigate this mess are fancied up versions of the same old thing, eventually returning the dieter to a conditioned system of eating behavior. The contention of this blog, is it's time to get off the merry-go-round of dieting and learn the ABC's of basic nutritional science. Teach your children what they need to know to navigate the gauntlet of foods in the 21st century. We encourage any experts in the field to contribute.
