Bad ideas are bad with or without measurements or other rituals.

You know the old fashioned breakfast: eggs, meat, cream being the base.

Coincident or causal?<br /><br />Calories, as used in the food industry are sloppy over-simplification of misunderstood process. <br /><br />Calories are useful for sizing metered meals for those of us without effective satiation signalling, but useless for the general public unless they fully understand the limits of calorie measurement. Gram of protein, carbs, and fat are just as useful. FredThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08382242668090490676noreply@blogger.com
