I’ve recently read a book called The China Study which game me an entirely new perspective on weight, disease, food, etc. If you read it, I would be interested in your review.

PQ – Speak for yourself. Sometimes I like to snort heroine off a hooker’s ass when I’m stressed.

I hope you have a great Thanksgiving weekend!

I personally believe in food addiction so this author’s book grabs my attention. Having family/friends in recovery from other more ‘recognized’ addictions (alcohol/drugs) I can relate.

You know how people say that driving under the influence of food doesn’t cause accidents? Horse-Pucky! I once was in an accident (my fault) rushing to get to a restaurant whose food I was craving before it closed.

If that’s not addict behavior I don’t know what is…..

I’ll trust you on the review—but I will also give it a look myself to see, as I do with any movie or book (I more often than not find that I have a different opinion than the average person…). I, like you, seem to prefer the personal “stories,” rather than just preachy advice or “to do” lists. It was what compelled me to read Frances Kuffel’s “Passing for Thin” twice, about a year apart. Reading that book planted the seed for starting my own journey. That “seed” took its sweet time to germinate, but it was the start of thinking that just maybe this was worth one more good shot… I was sad to hear that she had a “relapse” (I hate that word but cannot think of another, at the moment…). And now, I fear, I may be heading down that same path and I am fighting to get back on track. This is painful and scary as all get out, so thank you for continuing your blog and sharing your journey. It helps immeasurably.
