Food, Eating, Calories, WTF?

OK sitting at home because flights were full due to a cancellation and Ellen is on.

She is talking to Valerie Bertanelli (sp? - too lazy to look it up - sorry V) about eating.

Salads keep getting attacked as being bad - as in a Ceasar salad has MORE calories than a Cheese burger at a fast food joint.

Or a Cobb salad has more calories than an entire Banana Cream pie.1

OK I love cheese burgers, Cobb salad and Banana Cream pie - not so crazy about Ceasar salad cause that would end up in me dying - however - what ever happened, or am I the only one that thinks about the overall picture.

How much fibre and other nutrients are in a Banana Cream pie or a Cheese burger compared to a salad of ANY kind.  Ain't no ruffage in any cheese burger I have ever had that compares to a salad.

Ok so all you health nuts and gym bunnies2 here is where you chime in!

Neither a health nut or a gym bunny here!

I am reminded of something Julia Child said years ago... everything is fine, as long as it is in moderation. So, no eating that entire pie in one sitting :)

When I started to eat better I never counted anything out, or did I deprive myself of something. I simply approached it differently.

If I want a Big Mac I am gonna go and get one, I will just eat it slower and when that desire has been satisfied I will quit eating it.

The hardest part for ME has been the «waste factor» simple as that.
