You mean; NOT one of you guys believe this stuff?

My fiancee and I have redefined the term "food portion" and that has helped me cut through all the BS of misleading information about foods....
We now describe "food portion" like this:
A spoonful or
A chopsticks worth or
A bite
.................................................................
A portion of any food is acceptable, such a portion of carrots, or a portion of snickers.
Now, if I eat a portion of carrots, I don't have a problem, but with a portion of a snickers bar, I'll be wanting to have another and another. There is an example in the Bible that helps with this decision about what foods to eat and not to eat. Actually, the Bible reference's example, doesn't actually refer to food, but the principle of the example can and should be applied to food...
I don't do Bible quotes, but the meaning is this: If something gives you trouble, stay away from it.
So, if for me, I can't eat one portion of a snickers bar without wanting more, then I need to stay away from it altogether. The same could or should apply to anyone for whatever gives them trouble.....
Temptation to do otherwise has been around since that dang woman gave that man an apple. Once mankind realized that resisting temptation was difficult, it opened the door for the creation of "the drug industry", "the health food industry", etc...
and that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.....
