Conspiracy!

I think my peers in the news industry are on a mission to celebrate and encourage sloth and gluttony.

Witness:

This piece on how severe calorie restriction may make you live longer, but will also make you miserable -- shocking revelation, by the way.

This piece on how stress rewires the brain to create a vicious, self-perpetuating loop. The suggested antidote: vacation!

This piece on how exercise won't help most people lose weight.

I was going to go for a run, but maybe I'll just sit here and watch the Food Network instead.
