The O.J. Simpson murder trial was the greatest education I could have ever wanted in how TV News Media almost always get the story, then SPINS it wrong to their preconceived ideas. It’s not so much a plot or politics that does it, it’s just being lazy, and not looking to actually understand the story before regurgitating it.

For a long time we have known about the effects of depression on eating. And how much over eating may be compensating for something else. A recent study (sorry, I didn’t catch the title) confirmed this. In that, people who were happiest, eat more vegetables and fruit. While people suffering eat more fatty foods.

Conclusion the media draws from this: Eating salad will make you be happy! Eating more salad is not going to make you happy. Trust me, I’ve eaten a bowl or two, with little to no effect! You are confusing symptoms with a cure. We talking about a mental condition here, which is reflected in ones diet. Unhappy people, find happiness in eating, and the fattier the food the more pleasure, for just the moment, which does not lead to a happy lifestyle. It’s called self medication, and it’s an age old problem.

I just don’t know how many more years it’s going to take to realized that athleticism is the side effect of good health, and not the other way around. I tried to self medicate with athleticism, when I was feeling weak for no good reason as many middle age men do, for a while! Turns out that I have a heart condition, which could have killed me, as it did author Douglas Adams at 49 years old, AT THE GYM. So if you think you have a cold, feel drained, and have no fever or good explanation, see a doctor right away- rather than self medicating with food, or activity.

For happiness, you really need to start with simplest of all things to fake, laughter! Then add nuts! In the words of the Laughing Cow; “Have you had your laugh today?” is great advice, but skip the cheese, and have pickle, or a cherry, and try to remember that happiness not found at the bottom of a bucket full of mini-cheeseburgers!!! You may be what you eat, but a pear will not make you pear shaped. Read a joke a day, instead. And pass the fucking salad, please!

I’ll let you know the day I take my own advice.
