A rant I love...
...from Tomato Nation, as regards the low-carb/no carb craze:
Cake exists for a reason; don't treat it like a vestigial tail. A moderately-sized slice now and then isn't going to kill you. Chew it slowly. Sip coffee with it. Don't bolt it down all greedy-crammy Meredith Baxter-Birney in Kate's Secret like you're doing something wrong, because you aren't. You're enjoying a piece of cake. Nobody's looking at you and thinking, "No offense or anything, but the last thing that girl needs is Linzer torte." Nobody's doing that, and if anybody is doing that, that anybody is an ass, and stupid, because one of the first things everybody needs is Linzer torte, and you can stitch that on a pillow.
I so wish I was capable of working phrases like "vestigial tail" into rants about culture. :-)
