Give me some organic french fries to dip in organic vanilla ice cream and I'm a happy camper! However, if you're eating for comfort or eating because you're bored, you're a headed for trouble.

Here's the real reason one should eat, slowly, all while chewing your food, unless you're in a big hurry and need to grab a quick pop tart and head out the door.

Remember, when you're eating, eat. When you're playing, play. When you're working, work. But lay off the cheeto's. At least for now. Summer's coming. And you know what that means... FUN! Live life. Go! Be! Do! Life's short. Don't make it shorter.
