I have a great personal example of this in the SO's family. On the outside, he looks thin, you think everything's OK. Not so fast. Last summer he took a treadmill stress test, collapsed on the treadmill, and the next day they stuffed five (!) stents into his coronary vessels to counteract cholesterol plaque build-up. I won't even get into all his other health problems, diabetes being the most prevalent among them. I am in complete agreement with Nora's #6 "thinking that being slim = being healthy".

I wish she quoted sources for the more encompassing claims. I have to disagree with the assertion that MSG in any quantity is a neurotoxin. Glutamate is an endogenous neurotransmitter. Should we be eating piles of it? Of course not, it's a naturally occurring chemical in the brain. But as such I don't see how it could "always [do] some degree of neurological damage." It was already there before takeout Chinese existed. I'm on board with each point in principle though. Except that my quality of life would definitely suffer in the absence of dessert. I think Nora hasn't had dessert in a reeeeeeeallly long time. If I could eternal-sunshine-of-the-spotless-mind "dessert" out of my memory, I might, so I wouldn't have to know what I'm missing.
