The marketing success of diamond engagement rings is an ever-present reminder that you can fool too many of the people too much of the time. I wonder if the custom will diminish as gay marriages increase, since those couples don’t fit the ready script that the man must spend two months’ salary on a ring for the woman as the first step to marriage.
I think the Twinkie diet proved that it really is how much one eats that matters when it comes to weight.
Gary Taubes, author of “Why we get fat” would disagree; his research establishes that carbs are the culprit.
Seth: I agree with Taubes that food matters. The point of the link was that Marian Nestle was about 60 years behind the times.

Seth: Very interesting site, didn’t know about it. Unfortunately these researchers fail to understand the importance of the time of day that the Vitamin D is taken.
