| I've seen the changes in my clients lives Ah, so you're someone who makes a living by selling diet plans? I'm afraid that if you're a professional x salesman that makes me somewhat less likely to trust your testimony on the advantages of x. experienced it my self (gluten-intolerant) and my mother (Celiac) Well obviously if you're gluten-intolerant then gluten is bad for you. And your argument that eating grains is not bad because they taste good is preposterous I'm not saying they're not bad because they taste good (cf cheesecake), I'm saying that it would take a lot of evidence to get me to stop eating 'em because they taste good. Basic price/benefit calculation: I'm not gonna give up bread and rice without a damn convincing reason. As for LSD, can you tell what appeals to you about the physique of a marathoner? Y'see now you're sounding like a salesman. Changing peoples eating and exercise habits is like getting people to quit smoking, they need to have the impetus to start, outside advice/encouragement only goes so far. True. I think crazy diet advice can really do a lot of harm, though, by making people think that getting fit is a lot harder than it actually is. Cutting out ice cream and cookies is easy, cutting out grains is very hard. |
"Y'see now you're sounding like a salesman."
You didn't answer the question, you just accused me of something that's not true.
I think the best thing to do is end this conversation. We disagree on all the points up for discussion, and I'm guessing that nothing I type will convince you, and I'm certain that nothing you type will convince me.
