This is what irks me about the whole HAES "movement" (more like lack thereof) and their whining. Being an anthropology major, learning about people's diets in archaeology and other cultures helped me into questioning the way I ate food and fad diets in general. You can tell what kind of food a person ate based on their remains and teeth or how much their bone structure had to carry their excess weight through their life. Point being, the word "diet" is the entire way a person or culture eats. It's not something you fail ate since we all have to eat, but what about making small, lasting changes that'll last your whole life?
