When you finally read a well written book on human nutrition, you will learn that despite the good food/bad food dichotomy that inspires bans, there is no bad food...only bad diets.

So called junk food is fine as long as it is consumed in moderation. Michael Phelps admits that he loves fast food, and derives a lot of his total calories from what you would call junk food. Yet he is one of the greatest athletes of all time and is in phenomenal shape. The guy who spends his day on the couch eating McDonald's? Not so much.

Michael Phelps, Michael Phelps, Michael Phelps!

What does he have to do with anything normal? Nobody burns that kind of calories, but some people can eat that much...it’s not hard to do when you eat mostly starch and sugar.

You can’t answer my question because there is no nutritional value to sugar and starch for the average sedentary adult.

Here’s another question for you. How many miles a day would your average 170 lb man have to run in order to burn 12,000 calories?

And when you’re done with that, maybe you can explain the diabetes epidemic.
