| No, you're not the only one who's bothered. If anything, I think it reflects the general lack of health knowledge in the world today. For example, my mother insists that the wheat bread she buys which contains high fructose corn syrup is healthier than the wheat bread I buy simply because it has less calories.
We're a numbers obsessed society. I've lost 50 lbs since last September but I haven't lost one pound since the beginning of the month. If I were a typical YAnswers person, I should be freaking out right now. But I measure overall health in more ways than weight. I have lost two inches off of my waist and cut time off my 50 yard dash. Weight is not the only part of health, but it is the only part people pay attention to, so they get fixated on it. |
