Everything I eat has been proved by some doctor or other to be a deadly poison, and everything I don't eat has been proved to be indispensable for life. But I go marching on. George Bernard Shaw

In general, mankind, since the improvement in cookery, eats twice as much as nature requires. Benjamin Franklin

Eating is important; it's one of very few things in life that isn't optional. If you don't eat, you die. If you eat too much for too long, you die. You wouldn't consider for a moment investing in a company that had no budgets, where everybody said, "We just spend whatever we feel like from day to day, and hope it will all work out in the long run." Not only would such a business be prone to bankruptcy, its managers would have no way of knowing where the money was going; there'd be no way to measure actual performance against goals to discover where problems lay. No, only a fool would risk his money on such a venture.

Yet by trying to "wing it" with regard to what you eat, to balance your long term calorie intake meal by meal, making every decision on the spur of the moment, you're placing something even more precious than your money, your own health, in the hands of a process you know inevitably leads to serious trouble. John Walker
