Often ...Thank you, that's a good contribution. Often times a reasonable balance is ideal (in this case, the reasonable balance being 3 meals per day); going beyond a reasonable balance often confers no additional benefit, and may be disadvanteous, such as by consuming more time, despite the philosophical attractiveness of the idea.GKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14714377295981745087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886575137375451769.post-71788104191532442762011-02-03T23:34:52.377-08:002011-02-03T23:34:52.377-08:00http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21123467

There are so many reasons to follow the advice you've outlined here--aside from the health benefits, I do understand that the choices we make as food consumers have political and ethical implications, etc.<BR/><BR/>But somehow this approach to eating still strikes me as somehow incompatible with some of your other arguments, comments, etc elsewhere on your blog. It's just difficult to articulate the incompatibilities!<BR/><BR/>I'm reminded of a phenomenon that I've noticed. Many times when I find it really difficult to read much of anything the one thing that I do find myself gravitating towards is cookbooks, food writing, food memoirs, etc. Part of this might just be because it's easy reading, but I think that there are other reasons as well. My favourite cookbooks for this type of exercise are old church cookbooks, old British cookbooks, Edna Staebler's cookbooks, cookbooks from the Old American South, Laurie Colwinès food writing, etc. Maybe this will just sound trite, but there is soemthing so warm and soothing about those kinds of cookbooks, theyère some of the best medication Iève ever had! It makes me feel more connected to something, when itès hard to feel connected to things.<BR/><BR/>And although regularly cooking and eating the recipes outlined in the books mentioned above would perhaps not be compatible with your guidelines (or many dietary guidelines), I believe that several months of this kind of cooking and eating would actually be pretty good therapy as well. (The trick is to feel motivated enough to cook and eat these recipes!--but in the absence of that reading the cookbooks is a good substitute).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
