2007 New Year's Resolution: No more diet books

Every newspaper and every TV news show is packed with diets, diet books and diet authors.

Let's resolve not to buy another diet or diet book as long as you live.

You don't need a diet book. You don't need someone to tell you what you already know.

The only way to lose weight is to reduce calories. That's it. The way to do that is eating appropriate portions.

This blog is dedicated to changing the way we are fed.

Most opinions are that we are weak and lacking self-control. It's the individual that needs to change for America to lick the obesity problem.

That's just a very small part of the problem. The #1 way to prevent obesity is to stop us from being served large portions of food. That's it. So simple.

Join me in my 2007 resolutions: stop portion poison. Lobby your congressman. Lobby your local government. Lobby your local restaurants. Lobby McDonald's. Lobby your mother. Lobby your grandmother. Lobby your children.

Let me (and America) hear your comments.
