Body in Mind Nutrition's Fan Box

Reaction to the Reaction

Sunday, February 20, 2011

I am posting a blog about a reaction to an article in today's NY Times regarding Obesity research in primates.  Obesity is a serious problem and research which provides insight into eating behavior is essential.  However, this author makes several points which ring true and of them, I would like to share this with you:


"Fight the problem of obesity yourself: the solution is ancient – ignore your restless monkey-mind and eat mindfully.
Let’s face it: there is no shortage of overweight primates (just look around); there is a shortage of humanity and compassion.  Fill the gap.
Wake up, fellow primate!"

Another example of simple, but not easy.....
