Is this woman on speed? If she spoke any faster who would understand her!
On "Well" and personal health:
Back in the 80s, Art Levin set up the "Center for Medical Consumers" in Greenwich Village. The tiny center collected health books and xeroxed newspaper articles, and sorted them by subject.
Especially in the days when most doctors would just say, "You have this horrendous disease; my nurse will get back to you," and usher the patient out, the tiny center was a huge help to many people.
And, unfortunately, a then-revolutionary concept.
You cannot by little tiny turkeys but the butcher will buzz saw your turky in half. You can serve it flat or prop it up like a stage set.
I understood her fine. Are you on downers?
But seriously, I thought she made a lot of sense. I'm gonna bookmark her NY Times blog.
Her point about tricking people to eat better seemed right on. Wouldn't it be easier to just cook healthy food a little better so people will want to eat it? Why do our solutions to problems nowadays always seem to be so complicated? Keeping it simple works best.
