Diet and Exorcise

A tongue-in-cheek look at the billion dollar diet industry.

The Atkins Diet

Is there any reason to emulate what “Mr. Guitar” ate? The only connection between Mr. Atkins and the diet world was his 1993 Grammy Award for “Sneakin’ Around” (Twinkie anyone?). He was a country music legend, so why would he try to bring to dieting what Jimmy Dean brought to breakfast food?

Gluten-Free

I get Gluten free but the diet only slims the glutenus-maximus. Am I right? Big butted folks rejoice!

Vegan

This is not just a diet but a philosophy (it says so on Wikipedia.) Ancient history did not document whether Plato, Aristotle or Confucius refused to eat cheeseburgers or wear pelts in cold weather. Therefore it is just a diet.

Vegetarian

This plant based diet but allows for the consumption of things animal where said animal doesn’t make the ultimate sacrifice. I can deal with being a vegetarian because ice cream makes the cut.
