Diet your way to a long, miserable life!

"Calorie restricted" eaters have visions of eternal health dancing in their heads. But is life without pecan pie really worth living?

    Crazy Restrictions

    I'm with Ms. Traister 100% on this one. Growing up with a semi-anorexic, semi-bulimic mother who for years weighed everything she ate and wrote her weight every morning on the calendar, I resolved back in high school never to diet.

    Being an American woman with an emotionally healthy attitude towards food and the body is, sadly, still a radically feminist act.

    Bring on that goose fat!
