For serious. The Big Food Lie that Made Us Fat and Sick: For decades, we aimed at the wrong target. Well-intentioned critics argued that fat makes you fat (duh!) , so eating low-fat and fat-free foods logically seemed the pathway to become lean and healthy. File this under the “catastrophically wrong, total miss” category. You see, as low-fat fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt and fat-free cookie sales escalated, so did our waistlines.

I recently gave my copy of “Slouching Toward Bethlehem” to a friend and typed out “On Self Respect” before doing so. Typing out the essay was an interesting way to interact with the piece.
Once, in a dry season, I wrote in large letters across two pages of a notebook that innocence ends when one is stripped of the delusion that one likes oneself. Why Generation Y Yuppies Are Unhappy. Say hi to Lucy.
Lucy is part of Generation Y, the generation born between the late 1970s and the mid 1990s. She's also part of a yuppie culture that makes up a large portion of Gen Y.
