One with our fat obsessed culture I hear enough about dieting and people thinking that they are overweight that I would prefer not to hear about it from this list. Better us than Britney Aguilera, or whatever her name is. >Two this dieting thing is very annoying. I personally I think that you should eat whatever you want and exercise regularly (I suggest a sport, specifically Lacrosse.) I've noticed that when you exercise a lot you don't want to eat unhealthy foods, plus you are actually healthier not just thinner. Hey, I've no beef with lacrosse; it's how I got to college practically free, after all. But some people can't afford to spend three hours out of their days looking for a pick-up lacrosse game, and some people get thunk to be wierd if they carry around that cute little stick with them all the time. Some people don't feel like exercising more than the usual stomping around the office, and so they turn to magical foods that will disappear the fat for them. ("Disappear" is now an intransitive AND a transitive verb. Mark will back me up on this, or I'll cry at him.) I think it's awesome and fascinating that people do this dieting thing at all, and eagerly await more reports of same. ¬ MJ, eating a bowl of ice cream
