Lisa, the "nutritionist" food industry wouldn't be spending billions on television ads unless they thought it changed our behavior. I assume they've spent millions quantifying the payback on their expenditures. I'm glad I don't watch television (except for Law & Order) or listen to radio (except for NPR).

Here's a question for you: how does television and other media influence your notions of what, when, and how to eat?

Everything was authentic except for the portion size, easily double what you'd receive in France. Even watching what you eat is insufficient for health/beauty/etc. if you eat too much. I can change my diet but I find it hard to leave a meal half-eaten on my plate at the restaurant. Last night my wife and I enjoyed dinner at a little French place not far from here.

I've just finished Barbara Kingsolver's Animal, Vegetable, Miracle (http://www.animalvegetablemiracle.com/) which I highly recommend and am now deep into Michael Pollan's <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Omnivores-Dilemma-Natural-History-Meals/dp/0143038583/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1204313562&sr=1-2" rel="nofollow">The Omnivorse's Dilemma</a>. I have become obsessed with the amount of corn in the American diet and whether or not I can continue eating bananas, which I love dearly. Jay…I think we’re on parallel learning courses…

Pollan too - very insightful..... Since I've started taking control of what I eat I feel great! Once an omnivore - I've been vegetarian for 5 years & vegan for one - All that processed, meat and dairy kept me quite chunky & tired all the time. Now vegan, I have energy to burn and lost my "baby fat" painlessly..... Fresh leafy greens, grains & nuts - Mom was right: eat your veggies. Read M. Pollan too – very insightful…..
