Lee,

I couldn't agree more.

A simple explanation of the benefits, and how to do it.

I'm still trying to explain this to myself ,

Hi Everyone--

http://www.cspinet.org/nah/7_98eat.htm

Here's an article that I think may be pertinent to what we do here

in a

sideways sort of way. It's about the psychology of eating and the

economics of bad food. It draws parallels between the food industry

and

the tobacco industry.

One of the interesting statistics quoted is that, each year, 425,000

people die from smoking related diseases, yet 300,000 die from

diet-

related diseases and a sedentary lifestyle.

A question that has been lurking in my mind has been how to promote

this lifestyle to a larger audience. While I'm trying to figure

out all

of the details of CR, I'm also trying to think about it so that,

not

only do I understand it, but so that I can explain it in a clear

and

concise way to the people around me in so that it can be practiced

and

functionally understood with nothing more that a high school bio

class.

I think that only then will the benefits be realized to the public

-

when a truly healthy lifestyle can be marketed as effectively as

Mc .

I'd love to hear other people's opinions on this question and the

other

questions raised by the article.

Cheers,

Lee

Easy: Eat less and eat healthy and you'll live better, longer.
