Fast Food As Health Food?

And how's this for a name:

The 'Askins' Weigh Watchers 'Slimquick' Fenfen 'Hot Rolls of Steel' 'Bow Tai' Way to Ultimate Fast and Easy Non Surgical Weight Loss.

Do ya think it'll pass legal muster?

That's pretty funny. If you had an ounce of curiosity about the issue you might happen to notice that the US Government's health recommendations are for diets with 45 - 65% carbohydrate intake. And with heavy excercise, the body's need for carbs increases, thus the 70% rule of thumb.

And if you think that I have a life of leisure because I make time to work out, you are sadly mistaken. With my career during the day and cert classes at night, I don't have the hours in the day to go running, either, but I don't make excuses. If it means that I'm out running in the cold and ice, so be it.

As for this statement:

"Besides that, I have a hard time beleiving that eating a diet consisting of 70% bread and pasta can possibly be healthy. It's about as unnatural a diet as I cam imagine..." Bread and pasta? Perhaps, you should get acquainted with fruit, vegetables, and whole grains.

BTW, do you even know the meaning of the word mendacity? I would like you to point out what was a lie in my original post. Thanks.
