		<description>Oh and I love the implication in the snippet I quoted that calories are somehow nourishing.  Maybe they didn&#039;t mean it that way but to me, that&#039;s how it comes across.  Ha ha ha.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;He had trouble breathing and was malnourished because so many of his calories came from foods high in fat and carbohydrates.&lt;/i&gt;

WTF?  I&#039;m surprised they didn&#039;t say &quot;high in fat, protein, and carbohydrates.&quot;  Now there&#039;s no such thing as an essential carbohydrate but there &lt;i&gt;are&lt;/i&gt; essential fats.  They&#039;re going to judge someone&#039;s level of nourishment by how much of the macronutrients they&#039;re getting?  Do tell.

Eggs used to be so vilified as this evil food that caused heart attacks.  I learned something interesting during one of my aborted weight-loss attempts.  Eggs are also a decent source of healthy fats, vitamin A, and selenium, especially if they&#039;re from chickens raised normally.  (That stuff you see on &quot;organic&quot; eggs about the hens being &quot;vegetarian-fed&quot; is such a joke.  Chickens eat bugs, y&#039;all, along with the plants.  They used to make cartoons about it.  Check &#039;em out sometime.)

People are bending over backwards to &quot;prove&quot; that red meat kills you.  Yet again, another nutrition-dense food.  Just leave the damn bun off.  And the sugary ketchup and &quot;secret sauce&quot; too.  My favorite cut is flatiron, actually.

Now this guy&#039;s been permanently maimed and I hope it doesn&#039;t kill him like it has so many others.  I know he needed to lose the weight, but like as not they tried all the same tired old ineffective mythological crap beforehand as they do with every fat person, and of course it doesn&#039;t work because if it really worked they couldn&#039;t charge more for surgery.  Same principle as interfering with childbirth as much as possible so the mom &lt;i&gt;has&lt;/i&gt; to opt for the c-section.  Frigging racket.
