One thing that really irks me is our modern day interpretations of diet and health. Take the Double Down there. It's absolutely DELICIOUS, I mean, wow, amazing. And you know what? 550 calories, 10 grams of saturated fat? Everyone is screaming that it's soooo terrible and yet it's like the healthiest thing on KFC's menu, if not any major fast food chain. Yes, it does have almost a full day's sodium, but it's called PLANNING. Say "I'm going to have one for dinner", so you have a breakfast and lunch of as little sodium as possible, keep your calories and fat within the range of whatever plan you follow, balance calories in with calories out, and presto, you've just had a double down as part of a completely healthy diet.

But our media shuns that, doesn't it? How often do you hear THAT message anymore? It's either deprive deprive deprive of anything even remotely tasty, or eat yourself into oblivion and drop dead at age 30. Heaven forbid there's a vocally advocated middle ground. It's either a full McDonald's dinner four times a day, or nothing but unseasoned salad and distilled water.

So, if you're one of the people who has seen the light and realized you can eat whatever you want and be perfectly healthy if you stay under 2000 calories and whatever limits of sodium, saturated fats, etc, that the general plan you follow dictates, please, use this stamp everywhere. Then have something fried, don't feel guilty about it, and chase it with some vitamin supplements and a bit of exercise.
