We don't know our own basic physiology so are easily duped.
We don't know how to read research and rarely even demand it when outrageous claims are made by supposedly reputable entities.
We engage in wishful thinking in preference to facts.
We hate anything that is difficult.
We are Americans!
One of my favorite experiences in this regard occurred in a San Diego hotel restaurant, at the omelet stand. (I LOVE omelets, and eggs in general!) The lady in front of my (BMI no less than 35, I'm sure) asked for a plate of the "veggies" that the chef was using to make his egg dishes. She took great pains to explain that she was on a "raw food" diet (a fairly recent food fad). She was completely oblivious to the fact that several of the items were, in fact, cooked.
Use your education today where it counts--on what goes in your egg-hole! :-)
