Eat the damn cheeseburger

TCS has an article entitled "Are You What You Eat?" by Jon Robison, a Ph.D. from Michigan State. He basically argues that assumming you get enough food to begin with, altering your diet probably doesn't have nearly the effect on your health that we've been led to believe. A choice quote: "...very low fat diets may benefit only about one-third of the population and may actually have detrimental health effects on another third!" Sweet. So provided you eat enough not to get malnutrition and you aren't skipping essential vitamins and minerals, eat what you damn well feel like. But avoid cafeteria food. That stuff's just not cool.
