Thanks Leigh! I guess when you come right down to it, if we want to keep the weight off, there's no going back to the old way of eating. And you're so right--the food we eat now is so much more appetizing than before.

I think for me the risk is going to be in the area of convenience. These days I rarely eat anything I haven't cooked myself and that's usually something planned a day ahead. If I do go out to eat, it's never at a fast food place where I can grab something on the run--a hamburger w/o the bun just doesn't cut it. Sometimes I miss that.

But who knows....maybe society will finally get the message and restaurants will start paying attention to us. No harm in dreaming! In the meantime, Tim Hortens will have to get along without the $550 I used to spend annually for a coffee and donut every workday morning.
