I write not in forms or word or language, but in complex unison of thought from oppression and exasperation. Writing does not commence with the self, but the collective.

My previous entry depicts the social extremes of health diets; one of many struggling matters dealt by Americans. A diet is none other than “a particular selection of food, esp. as designed or prescribed to improve a person's physical condition or to prevent or treat a disease” (Webster’s).

As a competent web addict, I managed to stumble upon a well-known and familiar blogging site (one I shall not name). I was appalled and dumbfounded by the numerous pages of advocacy, promotion, optimism, and comfort in this so called diet. There were pages after pages of praise and endorsement of depriving the body of its essential nutrients. It was petrifying to read the endless entries of their works. Did I mention; many of the young women and men, yes men, are under the age of sixteen.

Social conformities! Deviation is no longer from the norm. Mediocrity! It’s disheartening and unfortunate that our behaviors correspond with socially acceptable standards, conventions, and rules. Where does the individual stand?

Ah, so it was the lack of food that was speaking...or writing...or typing. :)

I profess not to be a master of diets, but I can ascertain, without a doubt (and from personal, ongoing experience), that a Chinese newspaper diet will bring unforeseen stomach pains and internal bleedings.

Proper diet
Proper diet is sooo essential. Alot of times people drastically diet and dont realize that they are putting themselves at risk. You must have a balanced diet and proper proprotions of food.
