Default Truth and the "polymeal diet"

"Finding happiness in a frugal, active lifestyle can spare us a future
of pills and hypochondria." (in the bottomline section of their paper
where they list what their study adds to what is currently known in
this area of nutrition for cardiovascular disease)

Full text link:
http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/conte.../329/7480/1447

And that is the bottomline.

(Many astute readers of medical literature probably started suspecting
a satirical parody from the outset just by reading the word "tastier"
in the title :-)

Sidebar note(s):

(1) One part of being frugal is eating less especially if you are
overweight.

(2) Joy is more powerful than happiness and is attainable by all who
accept Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.

(3) Discussion about this satirical parody known as the "polymeal diet"
is actually on-topic for the newsgroups this is being cross-posted to
:-)

Hope these comments enlightens those who need enlightening.

Such is the work being done here for Christ's glory

Of course it was a spoof. You only have to look at the BMJ cover page
to know that. They are taking a leaf from the CMAJ, who have for years
done an annual Xmas humour issue. In my humble opinion the Canucks do
it better.

Eat and exercise the BMJ authors are saying. They picked up on every
food pitched to us over the year but that doesn't detract from their
very serious message (inherent in all satire):
Stop looking for a pill to fill every ill.

And they were also satirizing their own profession. Too often the
medcial profession forgets they aren't just pitchmen. But again in my
opinion, Canucks did that better too. Here is Canadian David Sackett,
also in the BMJ:

No, the bit I liked was: "Redundant cardiologists could be retrained as
Polymeal chefs and wine advisers."

Do you think that you could manage the intricacies of a corkscrew?

I would re-think that statement. Frugal means caution in spending, not
reduction in food consumption. Eating junk food could be considered
frugal in that it often costs less than eating well.

Keep up the good work. (Supporting atheinism and alienating any
potential Christians among those few that still read your posts.)

Regards

David
