It's so funny.  Well, not really.  Intriguing might be a better word.  I
ate so much of what was supposed to be "healthy".  FDA suggestions, food
pyramid.  I stuck by it.  Look where it got me.  5'4" and topped out at
215lbs.  The SECOND I switched to Paleo, that changed.  Literally.  The
first two days I dropped 7 lbs.  And I was eating, like, non-stop.  So now
when people tell me they're eating "healthy", I just shake my head.  Fresh,
fresh meat, fruit, veg--that's the only way to go for me.  I adored bread
and cheese, but I haven't missed them one bit.  And neither has my stomach
(no more upset stomachs!!).
