experts make me sick



Was watching the telly the other day. A British program came on. Showed
a grossly overweight woman in her skivvies. Not a pretty sight. Then as
they explained how desperate she was to lose weight along with her two
chubby young daughters and her husband, they showed little scenes of
the failiy eating potato chips, then twinkies, then soda, then an ice
cream bar, then they showed her piling onto the entire half of a dinner
plate a huge mound of mashed potatoes about 2 1/2 to 3 inches high
alongside what looked like oven baked english style french fries on the
same plate.

Then they cut to an "expert", obviously a nutritionist or a dietitian.
She looked around the kitchen and peered into a 150 lb bag of huge
potatoes. She says, "why do you need so many potatoes?", then she says
(I kid you not), "I don't see anything wrong with potatoes, but I am
afraid that you may be fattening them up too much."

That is when I changed the channel. I can't stand such stupidity from
"experts" anymore.
