You go, girl!!!

But I am feeling a definite urge to track down that sleazy lawyer John Banzhaf and give him a dose of the truth about fat and carbs. And that tobacco law suit was the ultimate in idiocy. I don't smoke and never have, but I still don't understand how you can sue someone who makes a product that, whatever its harmful effects, is legal. Why not sue the government for not outlawing it if it's so bad (which it is, of course). Tobacco would never pass FDA scrutiny if someone were trying to put it on the market today. And what about personal responsibility? You'd have to be from Mars not to know that smoking is bad for you.

I could go on, but I won't (and aren't you relieved?)

Great article, Dana.
