Nice to have a fellow librarian on board. I bet the

Thanks for this great complement. For those who don't
know, Occam's razor is a philosophical principle that
the simplest, most straight forward answer is the most
likely one.

I've been hearing bad things about juice fasts (though
my neighbors love it). Something about how it was next
door to binging.

This is the idea. Normalcy in eating used to be
enforced by social eating structures, the fact that
food was relatively expensive if not scarce, etc. All
the noSdiet is doing is standing in for these absent
structures. It's profoundly normal.

There was a gentleman from texas who got a 4 pound
