The God diet


Super nurse (and soon-to-be lawyer) Mary Kay Collins been telling her patients about the God diet for 15 years – “If God made it, it's good for you. The more man has to do with it, the less you should eat it.”

She was responding to a piece in the New York Times in which Andrew Weil deplores the fact that there are fast-food joints in 4 out of 10 hospitals. The problem, Weil says “is the processed food ... has increasingly displaced whole, natural food in the American diet.

“Modern food technology has transformed slow-digesting grains into snack foods made of pulverized, refined starches that, once eaten, quickly raise blood sugar, promoting insulin resistance and weight gain in genetically susceptible individuals  most of us, unfortunately.”

Best stick to Mary Kay’s God diet.
