THIS WEEK, we learn that perhaps bacon might be good for us, after all. (Slightly genetically modified bacon, to be sure, but who's paying attention?)
LAST WEEK, we learned that eating too many antioxidant-filled foods could encourage certain kinds of cancer. (When I eat too many blueberries--antioxidant filled--it only seems to turn my poo blue.)
BEFORE THAT, we were encouraged to eat foods with fiber (NOT ANY MORE!), drink red wine, and snurf down chocolate...but only the dark chocolate. (Sorry, Easter Bunny.)
Is it just me? Are you as sick of these stupid food-alerts as I am? I think all these "studies" and "reports" are created by rival food-group lobbies and NONE of them are worth a damn. They're just created to either disparage or promote some food group.
Sometimes, I just feel like hiding under the bed and sucking on a few Cheerio's for nourishment. Unless now they're bad for me, too.
My philosophy is: as long as it is natural (not too processed or filled with chemicals) then GO AHEAD! EAT IT! Just eat in moderation. Don't sweat the small stuff. Eat your milk chocolate, gobble those blueberries, and toast a glass of wine each evening. Red OR white.
(That little bit of wisdom should be worth millions... but I'm sure CNN won't be calling me to speak my sage advice.)
What do you think? Do you pay ANY attention to the latest foodie warnings, or do you, like me, feel it is just not worth it anymore?

You can well imagine what my comment is going to be about this one.
It's just what you said--MODERATION. Anything in excess can kill you--probably even blueberries. Eating (and drinking) things you like--in moderation--keeps you happy. I think that's healthier than stressing over the latest fabricated "study" on what's good or bad at the moment.
It's working for me, and I've lost 55 pounds now, and I'm probably healthier than I've been in years.
Everything in moderation....sometimes even moderation in moderation! Just to keep it interesting!
