Salad Eating For Nothing

Laura Collins:

“It’s a tragedy that we’ve developed this moralistic, restrictive and unhappy relationship with eating, I think it is making kids nutty, it’s sucking the life out of our relationship with food.”

Chris  Petit:
“If capitalism continues uninterrupted, then the cure of self-restraint will become another commercial facet of consumerism, like weight-watching or dieting or healthy eating - just another giant business in its own right. “

John Gray:

"Forget about immortalizing yourself.  Don’t waste money.  Don’t waste time.  Don’t waste thought or anxiety on having yourself frozen or your brain frozen.  

Don’t curtail all your everyday enjoyments for the sake of a rigorous diet which is what (Ray) Kurzweil among others has written.  He has in fact written a diet book with this very goal in mind and if you follow this rather radical diet you’ll live long enough to become immortal because you’ll live long enough for the Singularity in which believes, this explosion of knowledge and technology will occur.  Forget about all that."
