And by the way, OS, eating is not a bad habit that can be given up for life. Alcohol you could live without, but food is not a drug, that can be dispensed with.

Bingo, that's what I wanted to comment on. What's put in our food, particularly our red meat, is a drug. This drug, restaurants have known about for years. It causes you to want to eat more. Of course, they want you to come back. This is the harmone that causes you to want to eat more, not the fat in our body. The FDA knows about this drug as well and allows it legally to be put in the food.

Food is necessary to survive, and to live. Most people can go about six weeks without eating anything, but those six weeks won't necessarily be very pleasant, and while a person will lose weight, they sure won't be able to ref, work, or even think much. OVER-eating is a bad habit, but it should be modified, not just abandoned. Proper eating is a GOOD habit, that must be worked at.

I didn't know we could go that long without eating. I can't even go a day. Over-eating is a bad habit and the key thing here is eating itself. That is the common denonmenator. Whether it's overeating, under-eating or proper eating. Eating is the problem. Obvisously we can't stop eating altogether, but we can slow it up. The body doesn't need as much as we keep putting into it. The constant maintain certain patterns, all the diet programs, the drugs, just say NO! Eat when your body tells you you need food, and then try to eat as heatlhy as possible. Otherwise, shut it down. It's all in your mind.
