EATING MY SPINACH
Four Days on the Uncle Sam Diet ...
By WILLIAM GRIMES
Published: January 23, 2005

 WHEN the Agriculture Department unveiled its new dietary guidelines this
month, it laid down a challenge to all Americans: Eat better, smarter and
healthier, or else. The "or else" included a long list of ailments that
plague the developed world, from heart disease and osteoporosis to
diabetes.

Along with the stick, however, came some nice, healthy carrots: Follow the
guidelines and you will be stocking up on nutrients that help prevent
cancer. You should also lose some weight. Odds are you'll live longer and
feel better. Just stick to the road map.

I gave it a try, curious to see how hard it would be to change my eating
patterns to fit the program, which seemed to be calling not just for
nutritional change, but cultural change - a redefinition of what makes a
meal... SNIP
