Dieting

__Dieting__ Along with the expansion of the junk and snack food industry and the factory, assembly-line approach to food-making's popularization, dieting has become another modern-day health hazard, at times leading to eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia. Although having a healthy, balanced diet is important to one's health, taking this too far – into diets and an obsessive approach to eating – can result in serious complications. What many people fail to understand when it comes to nutrition is that "less is more" is the wrong approach; good nutrition doesn't necessarily mean eating //less//, it just means eating a balanced amount of the right things. For example, eating only a few grapes a day is just as unhealthy as eating a McDonald's meal for lunch daily; it has different results, but both ends of the spectrum are unhealthy. That is why a balanced nutrition is so important, and why dieting should only be done in moderation and carefully. - Shiri Koren, Omer Sharabi & Iris Rapoport
