Exercise. Eat Whatever You Want and Work Out. People work out for different reasons — to build strength, lose weight, and feel active are just a few. Some people, which include actress Gwyneth Paltrow, exercise so they don't have to amend their diets. Gwyneth's trainer, Tracy Anderson, says that Gwyneth loves to eat, and as long as she works out six days a week, the actress can eat anything she wants. Pigging out definitely isn't the main reason I exercise, but I sometimes am more lenient with my diet because I lead such an active lifestyle. Tell me . . . Eat food. Stuff you like. As much as you want. | The Fat Nutritionist. So… telling people what to eat seems to be the thing to do, no?
And telling people to eat whatever they want is…well, it’s It’s just not done. You know why I think it’s controversial? Not just because we live in a culture that’s messed-up, food-wise, but because we, as a culture, seem to take Let me explain. It should come as no surprise to anyone reading here that our culture views food as a moral issue. Food isn’t moral. But, sadly, we live in a time and a place where it seems Twinkies = Eternal Damnation. So, when I say “Adult human beings are allowed to eat whatever, and however much they want,” what people actually hear is: “GO OUT AND CRAM YOUR FACE WITH BAD, BAD TWINKIES!!!!!!” I’m here to plead with you on this: first of all, people aren’t stupid. You know what else? We’re animals, which means we’re pretty highly motivated to stay alive. Those desires, being tied to the ultimate desire — to survive — are pretty damn strong.
But you know what we want more than either of these? Rules vs. trust in eating. | The Fat Nutritionist. So, for large swaths of us in the Western hemisphere, the holidays are approaching. Which means my favourite thing in the entire world is happening (it’s true!!!) — Magazines are giving out advice on HOW NOT TO BE A TOTAL DISGUSTING PIG, YOU FUCKING SLOB. Yessss. Seriously, I wait for this all year. Like Christmas morning. First up, from my lovely reader Maggie (thank you, Maggie, and wake up, please, I think Rod Stewart’s got something to say to you, and if you think that’s bad, try living with “Michelle, mah belle” for 30 years), comes Cosmo’s “How to Pig Out on Thanksgiving (But Without the Guilt.)” And they pretty much give you a basic, average, low-fat kinda smallish meal on which you can totally PIG OUT, girlfriend!
Nary a mention of pie, mashed potatoes, gravy, or anything else that makes life worth living when you’re across the table from that beloved relative with the unfortunate spitting habit. Because you should totally, totally feel guilty about food. Right-o, then. Which is: Nope. The Case Against Grades.

"I remember the first time that a grading rubric was attached to a piece of my writing….Suddenly all the joy was taken away. -- Claire, a student (in Olson, 2006) By now enough has been written about academic assessment to fill a library, but when you stop to think about it, the whole enterprise really amounts to a straightforward two-step dance. You say the devil is in the details? Why tests are not a particularly useful way to assess student learning (at least the kind that matters), and what thoughtful educators do instead, are questions that must wait for another day. The Effects of Grading Most of the criticisms of grading you’ll hear today were laid out forcefully and eloquently anywhere from four to eight decades ago (Crooks, 1933; De Zouche, 1945; Kirschenbaum, Simon, & Napier, 1971; Linder, 1940; Marshall, 1968), and these early essays make for eye-opening reading.
