Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Sharon, Your comments are a breath of rational fresh air! Digna Britney and her diet I'm chuckling at all the hullabaloo over what Britney Spears eats! Forget that her claim to fame right now is not her voice or her dancing abilities but her odd behavior. Why do we care that she eats fries and drinks too many coffee drinks? Do we really believe that is what has caused her public meltdown? Family history? Fame? Drugs? Alcohol? Stress? Does a taco override all of the other parts of her life that might have contributed? If that were the case, then many more Americans would be shaving their heads. I'm not saying that the woman doesn't have some eating issues. And I'm not saying that the foods she eats might not contribute to her behavior-although that is a stretch for me. I'm more inclined to think that what we don't eat-calories and nutrients-are more apt to affect us than what we do eat. Do people really think that if she starts eating carrots instead of chips her behavior will magically normalize? So I expect that dietitians will be making public comments that end up in the media about this issue. And there'll be blame tossed at the fast food companies and the coffee shops but really let's keep our senses about this-the woman has issues that are probably a bit more pressing than overdosing on fried foods! Another rant from Sharon.
