That first post was for the fluffy new agers

Newagers kill people. I know you newagers will be flocking to this blog. So, this second post isn't for you. Stop reading and go have some green tea. Your day will come.

This second post is for everyone else, meaning Canadians and waiters. Yeah, Canadians kill people, too. I don't want to even talk about waiters. Waiters kill more people than newagers and Canadians combined.

What does a good diet consist of? It consists of food. Enough food to keep your body fueled. This means, you have to get your vitamins and enough calories to get up every day and reproduce. That's the long and short of it.

It doesn't consist of special purifying herbs to leach out the heavy metals, as if, from your blood so that you can become one with the culinary godhood. It could but it doesn't. It doesn't consist of not eating dessert or, Chef! help me, fruit after dinner because it'll ferment in your body. Everything with carbohydrates ferments in your alimentary canal. It doesn't consist of not eating fat because without fat, you're dead. It doesn't consist of not eating carbohydrates, because without carbohydrates, you're dead.

Food it not medicine. It is food. Medicine is medicine. Good food tastes good and bad food tastes bad. Not everyone can eat all foods. Some people have allergies or have trouble processing different foods. Don't eat those food but don't try and tell other people not to eat them.

Sugar and fat and cream and beef and lamb and sausage and wine of all types are all food and are good for you by definition. You have my permission to eat them but you do not have my permission to gorge yourself on them. Moderation, people. Moderation in all things including moderation. So, have a blow out when you are on vacation. Just don't drink and drive. Don't eat and drive or go in the pool and for Chef!'s sake, don't be stupid and drive.

Eat enough to provide the energy you need during the day. If you eat more, you get fat, if you eat less, you die. It's that simple. Stop making it more complicated. I hate newagers. I'm not that fond of waiters and I'm getting less and less fond of crazy Canadians.
