I DO know what you mean. I've been thinking lately that we Americans have turned food/health/nutrition into a sport. Sometimes it feels full contact (like when everyone at a family dinner chimes in about how unhealthy the food you're eating is!). I think it's great that there is so much research being done--though I read recently that scientists are now releasing information after preliminary findings, where they used to wait until many years and more detailed research.

Anyway, I love food, and I do love to talk about it and health. BUT I also know my limits. I know when it's gone from, "gee, this is fun," to "yikes." There are many different ways of eating for many different types of people. And sometimes one way of eating is right for you at one time in your life and not for another. It's cyclical, I think.

I hear ya, Tiam. Glad you posted this as sometimes I feel like I'm on a crazy train to foodopolis! (Especially online)
