In the 20 long hungry years between my late teens and late 30s I bought in to virtually every new diet and/or exercise regime that hoved into view particularly at this most vulnerable time for those of us prone to poor body image - a new year.

I grew up with a heavy diet of gospel folk and blues because those are kind of the cornerstones of traditional American music.

For so many years I felt so insecure so inferior and I still have those moments but I have a newfound confidence since I got in shape and changed my diet.

I'm terrible with my workout regime and following it strictly. I'm terrible with a healthy diet and following it strictly. I'm terrible on the weekends about getting up at reasonable hours and all of those things. But when it comes to my work and the discipline it takes to get to work on time - I hate unprofessionalism.

Healthy people are those who live in healthy homes on a healthy diet in an environment equally fit for birth growth work healing and dying... Healthy people need no bureaucratic interference to mate give birth share the human condition and die.

As for those grapefruit and buttermilk diets I'll take roast chicken and dumplings.

I am not naturally that thin so I had to go through everything from using drugs to diet pills to laxatives to fasting. Those were my main ways of controlling my weight.

The scientific argument advanced for intelligent design at the Dover trial those arguments collapsed scientifically and intellectually.

The design of those commissioners frigates and warlike force is directed rather against Long Island and these your Honors' possessions than to the imagined reform of New England.

I do believe that there are some universal cognitive tasks that are deep and profound - indeed so deep and profound that it is worthwhile to understand them in order to design our displays in accord with those tasks.
