O.K.

paulie wants to rant

(no no not again Dr. Dre)

i want to talk about food.

we have an epidemic in this country of obesity.

(now declared a "disease")

eat to live

do not live to eat.

i admit- i am a disciple of michael pollan on this subject

"eat real food" (not too much)

or

"the omnivores dilemma"

(we are all omnivores)

limit your caloric intake to your lifestyle.

i recommend 1200-1600 calories per day

((a calorie is a calorie is a calorie))

Eat slowly

enjoy and savor

(kind of like sex-no one appreciates a premature ejaculator

esp. the women)

prepare numerous templates

bitter, sweet

savory,velvety,cruncy

satisfy all sensations

(it's called mastication)

then

take a walk

ride a bike

anything physical to burn energy

i consider myself a gourmand

(jacque pepin)

has nothing on me

tho eating simply ming

is probably a smarter thing

i will quote mr. spock

"eat well and prosper"

do you know any smart wealthy "fat" people?

PS: food for thought...

{e tu' mr. christie}

PSS: i know, i know- i am gonna take some shit for this

oh well

truth is as truth be told...

(and i will not apologize)
