It was an interesting article, and it's getting considerable play where

April and hang out.

I think the author's response of pigging out after his two-month

experiment is more of a psychological statement than anything else, but

somewhere in there between the enthusiasm that we share with most of the

dinner participants and the author's observations about cults lies a

middle-of-the-road truth about the dangers of overinvesting our practice

with notions of a breed and future apart from that of the

" others " of humanity who don't restrict their caloric

intake.

I also continue to not " get " the, to me,

the-lady-doth-protest-too-much stuff about sex, which yet again somehow

comes off discordant to my nonprudish ears.

Well worth the read, imo, containing as it does a number of details about

CRON and its historical personalities with which I had been

unfamiliar.
