Dear Blowhards --

Tom Naughton thinks you might want to skip those 100-calorie snack packs.

I interviewed Tom back here, here, and here; his entertaining, brain-opening, and generally most-excellent documentary "Fat Head" can be bought here. Be sure to read the very informative Amazon Viewer Reviews of the film.

And go ahead and hit the One-Click button, dammit. Like the Tom posting I've just linked to, "Fat Head" is smart, amusing, independent-minded, and surprisingly substantial -- the best intro I know of to the low-carb critique of conventional nutrition-and-eating advice. You'll actually watch the DVD, where a book on the topic is likely to sit on your shelf unread forever. And, when you're done with it, you can give the DVD to a friend. Who knows, you might even wind up a healthier and happier person. That's an awful lot of value for less than 20 bucks.

Best,

Michael
