Hello. My name is Charles Stuart Platkin, I’m the founder of DietDetective.com, I  have a syndicated column that’s in more than 165 daily papers, I’ve also written 5 books on health and behavior. As far as academic background: I received my undergraduate degree from Cornell University, a Juris Doctorate from Fordham University, and a Masters in Public Health from Florida International University. I’m also a certified personal trainer and I’m currently completing my Ph.D. in Public Health. Ok. A few points, just so we’re clear. This blog will NOT be investigative stories, or well written, heavily edited articles. It will be from my mind, to keyboard, to computer. There WILL be typos, grammatical errors, and run on sentences. But that’s fine, because you’ll get the point.

As soon as I saw it, I cringed at the full page ad. There it was, in yesterday’s USA Today: “Burning Calories Is Now Officially Delicious”. |

I read this really interesting editorial in the Chicago Tribune where the writer actually states that we should have prospective restaurant diners prove they’re under a certain BMI before they’re allowed to order certain higher calorie items. Well isn’t that something?! What a thought. This is based on the concept that Chicago is considering like NY, putting cal info on menu boards. |

Ok. Don’t get me wrong, as a public health advocate I think it’s fantastic that New York has banned trans fat. Now, I just read that Disney is banning all trans fat at it’s theme parks. Wow!!! |

Ok, so on Christmas day I was a bit overzealous with the Are We Slowly Poisoning Ourselves? I got emails and calls. Friends, family, etc saw my first blog—and had the following comments: “Are you nuts.” It’s Christmas day. Sorry. Moving on. I saw this ad in Real Simple magazine. I’ll tell you I have mixed emotions. What is McDonalds up to? Is this even healthy? |

Have you seen the DietDetective.com poll? I have to admit, I’m not sure how I would vote, but I’m leaning towards giving up the 5 years. Not so much so I could eat cake and cookies all the time (which wouldn’t be so bad), but more because who really knows what our food does to us. |
