Random Thoughts Part 2

Thoughts on Food, Diet, etc.

My own:
Food is the center of our society.  Everything in our culture revolves around it.  At work, "let's have a pitch-in."  Parties, food and more food.  When friends get together, "let's do lunch." It is amazing to me that more people aren't addicted.
