Big Fat Fiasco - Fat is good
Gina:
You are a brave soul, Bob.
bob:
Nah... Just an old dog willing to learn new tricks. By the way, your Barbie doll post was tooooo funny. Bob
Dave in Tenn:
Hi Bob. I kinda figured that was the case, since I didn't watch the videos. My situation is unique (actually, I think everybody's situation is unique) in that I eat what is put in front of me and am happy to have food at all. Most people have more choice. When I have choice, I gravitate towards food with more fat than is in my regular diet. So if 'fat is good', I'm moderately good most of the time and quite good on occasion. :D

Can you tell me the credentials of this guy? He said he's a comedian and he's a also worked in the media. That's what I got so far out of his credientials. Do you know if he has any medical background, an MD? A pHD? Anything?
Gina:
My daughter went through high school eating nothing but two supersize Snickers bars and cokes every day unbeknownst to me. And she never gained a pound (skinny as a rail) (not all diabetics are fat either). But she suffered from major mood swings and suicidal depression -- then again, she wasn't exercising like she was when she was in junior high, but then again - her diet at that time wasn't much better.
Grant it, just being a teenager in high school is enough to make most people depressed, so I can't say for sure that her mood swings and depression were caused by her "diet." (She definitely wasn't doing drugs or drinking alcohol -- we're talking about someone who lectured me about my smoking from day 1 practically. Just not her thing.)
But then (as you may have read), she slooowwly changed her diet to vegetarian. She later realized her mood swings and depression was all but gone. But then again, she was pretty much done with high school and she was getting more exercise as a waitress. So, who knows?
But I know one thing, we went to her see her dentist when she was about 16-17 and he came back and told us she had eleven cavities that needed filling. She felt so guilty over my out of pocket costs (in the hundreds of dollars), she confessed to eating candy bars and drinking soda for four solid years. I about fell over. I was less concerned with my out of pocket costs than I was her teeth. But my main concern was her pancreas.
Thirty days of dieting on junk food probably isn't going to kill you; however, I'll be interested to know how you're feeling emotionally when you're finished. All the best to you, Bob. Glad you liked the joke.
