Now, for all you food fadists...science is saying what just makes sense...

This is a talk at Brock House...love it!  Good on Dr. Sloan.

This series resumes this week on Wednesday, Nov. 14th with the presentation called Forbidden Food by Dr. John Sloan. Whatever the reason is for modern healthy food beliefs, the plain truth is that we are deluded if we expect to live longer or suffer less illness through buying into them. Five decades of science attempting to prove the opposite has failed. The only bad food, for us, is food that tastes bad, or more generally food that doesn't give us inner joy and delight. Enjoy food. Enjoy your own personal, strange (or dead ordinary), cultural, family, or instinctive preferences for what you eat. Life's too short to try to prolong it by wrecking one of its greatest pleasures.
