It is interesting that food-faddism coincides with an apparent lack of
taste. Somebody who wishes to restrict their energy intake need not be
a bunny-grub nosher only, but a surprisingly large number of them
don't realise that they could enjoy magnificently good food and simply
eat small portions.
I knew an Irish fellow once, a charming chap in most respects, who saw
food only as fuel. He loved Mcshite and took a pride in being able to
re-fuel himself at one of their establishments in a matter of minutes
from entry to exit.
