The monkeys are doing it."

Starvation...

The charming thing is that Lisa Walford, long-time CR practitioner, was on Good Morning America and she looks like shit. She has more energy than ever, but her body is repulsive and her face is sunken, disfigured by jutting bone structure and, oddly enough, simian in appearance. The two other exemplars of the diet were similarly heinous.

Oh, and she confirmed that, despite the increases in overall energy, there is a significant decrease in sexual drive, which she rationalized away by saying she was too busy with her two careers for sex anyway.

I guess it's about quantity not quality of life.

Good God, you're right. I wonder if she and Maria Shriver have their faces sharpened by the same person.

And don't you think she also looks a bit... well... mannish?

Right. Life is meant to be endured, not enjoyed.

So that's why you're so thin.

Funny justification coming from a media industry targeting the same consumer mindset that figures "the AIDS" came from those same monkeys.
