I really could care less, but my doctor seems to think it is important. I lived in Europe for eight years.  I work out all the time, and when I am more sedentary than normal , I adjust my diet to reflect that.  The only thing I don't like are beets and brussel sprouts, and I like lots of veggies and fruit, so that is easy.When I returned to the  US, the sheer physical mass of the meals amazed me.  One big honkin' plate of everything.  And the idea that food is merely fuel, and not part of being time spent with friends or a repast for yourself, leads to the whole grab-a-burger-on-the-run mentality, propogated my the media, subsidized by various industry interests. A very interesting read is "A Diet for a New America," or something like that. It details the myth of cheap food, how expensive livestock is in terms of environmental degredation, transport costs, etc., etc.  Stop eating chips, drinking soft-drinks, and start walking 30 minutes a day, and the results will astound.Edits: Mis-spellings and schtuff.</blockquote>
