Future events seem to have a way of forecasting their shadow. More often than not, what ever the human mind is able to conceive will happen.
This article isn’t going to be very popular with the “calorie in/calorie out” crowd.
I used to be an optimist - now I believe in the Obarackalypse.
What the hell does “queuing up” mean. Talk American dang it.
Far be it from me to cast doubt on dieticians and “scientists” who study these things and make profound judgements but I am 66 years old and all my life, I’ve pretty much eaten anything I wanted, any time I wanted it and I’m not over weight, my 91 year old mother is the same.
The deal is neither me nor my mother want a lot to eat at any given time. If I’m really hungry I can put away a humongous breakfast but that doesn’t happen that often. I believe metabolism and genetics play a large role in whether you are fat or not. I’m fortunate, my mom’s fortunate.
You can pay all the attention you want to food groups but when you eat large volumes of most things, you will tend to obesity, generally speaking.

I am blessed to be married to a man who has been fishing since he could bait a hook and has so many hunter friends who give us game every year, I had to get another freezer.
We live across the road from a lake, and my husband grew up in this house. He also knows where there are “fishing holes” down dirt roads that are full of native trout.And he has only told 2 people where they are and they are sworn to silence.Fresh water fishing is just as serious around here as ocean commercial fishing spots.
My husband can filet fish so well, that when he puts them on a styrofoam plate covered with plastic wrap, people think they are from the supermarket. Same thing with venison.
Once we have enough fish in the freezer, he then gives the rest of his fish, cleaned and “prettied up”, to his elderly friends who can’t fish as much as they used to.
It’s a simple thing, to be able to fish, but what a difference it can make. There’s no food stamps for his elderly buddies-they wouldn’t even think about it. So to be able to give like that is so wonderful; it’s the best.
I’ve read all three books, and I was struck by the party goers in the Capitol drinking the clear liquid to purge the food they’ve eaten to make room for more food. I’m sure it was intended to disgust the reader. How different is that from women who abort fetuses in order to make room for more sex?
The author’s name, Rich Tucker, is a bit ironic considering the subject matter.
