It's Working!

The percentage of those consumers who are on a diet is lower than at any time since information on dieting was first collected in 1985. At the peak in 1990, 39 percent of the women and 29 percent of the men were dieting. Today, that number has dropped to 26 percent of women and 16 percent of men.
The diarists also report eating more organic foods and whole grains, said Harry Balzer, an NPD vice president.
People are starting to just eat food, eat healthily, and well, and starting to cook again. ANd their weight is going down.
This is fantastic news. They directly credit things like the Slow Food Movement, and Michael Pollan's "In Defense of Food" as contributing factors.
I'm so happy!
