Lunatic Bloggers and Their Fad Diets

I was just talking to an acquaintance who is on a life quest for the perfect diet. There are lots of gurus out there with suggestions. More than suggestions, actually - more like definitive answers and shangri-la fountain of youth perpetual good health solutions. The low carb diet, the high fat diet, the glucose diet, the you name it and someone has come up with it diet. They blog, then they write books based on their "research" which is usually anecdotal and based on very small sample size, with no longitudinal epidemiological data. So I decided, what the heck, I can be a lunatic blogger. I can come up with a theory to support a diet of my favourite foods.

I limit two of my favourite foods for my physical well-being. I would like to indulge in them more, or more often. To that end, I introduce to you, for your culinary pleasure and good health...the Coffee and Popcorn Diet! Here's how it works: you drink as much coffee as you like, whenever you like. This is the energy-producing part of the diet. The coffee has to be 100% Kona, preferably peaberry, and grown by an organic farmer on the slopes of Mauna Loa with whom you have a long-standing personal relationship. The popcorn, non-GMO, you grow in your backyard garden from heritage seed which you saved from your farming years in Saskatchewan in the 1980s. Organic of course. Keep the plants fenced and protected from wild pigs. Feel free to add lots and lots of butter (organic, from the cows in your pasture) for protein, and Hawaiian sea salt to maintain your electrolyte balance.

Let me know how it works for you. I can interview on my new podcast, and eventually write a book.
