I don't go long without eating. I never starve myself: I grab a healthy snack.

I refuse to spend my life worrying about what I eat. There is no pleasure worth forgoing just for an extra three years in the geriatric ward.

I don't believe in dieting.

Our society's strong emphasis on dieting and self-image can sometimes lead to eating disorders. We know that more than 5 million Americans suffer from eating disorders, most of them young women.

As I mentioned previously, the tools that allow for optimum health are diet and exercise.
