I look forward to Friday links, I always find something to add to my Reader list. You are impacting my productivity this morning though. I really enjoyed the You Are Not So Smart blog, lots of interesting articles there.
I also look forward to the Friday links. I particularly enjoyed the blog (and link to the marie claire article) about not reading weight loss blogs. I used to occasionally read two of the mentioned blogs -- katheats and eatliverun. I stopped reading because I didn't find them to be realistic or particularly healthy. Certainly not "balanced."
Oh, for the ability to edit after I've commented!
It scares me that people will pay attention to what these bloggers write and think that what they do or suggest is advisable or normal.
Hey Sally, I actually read eatliverun and she's no longer doing the daily food blogging thing like katheats... she now just mostly posts recipes, including a lot of baking (with real butter and sugar, not strange replacement ingredients).
I loved todays links, that mac & cheese gnocchi looks amazing and I really enjoyed reading the Charlie Sheen one. Frightening truths, right there.
Thanks everyone for the feedback. I've said this before, these Friday links are clearly popular judging by the traffic stats, but usually there's not a lot of commenting activity. So I'm grateful for the thoughts on specific articles and the impressions from readers.
Tom: that blog IS exceptional--I only just found it this week. Glad you enjoyed it!
Sally, agreed. I think your second comment just goes toward how blogging is becoming a more and more authoritative media source, and as with the traditional media, there's some great advice and real authority out there--and also some real crap. You have to read everything with a grain of salt, obviously; but many people cannot or do not.
Ally, thank you for the feeback! I absolutely love how The Last Psychiatrist holds a mirror up to our media and culture. That is one of my very favorite blogs.

Ally -- thanks for the heads up about eatliverun. I checked it out and it's changed. It's now much closer to my own food philosophy.
Dan -- one of the things I don't understand is why so many of us believe the crap. Maybe it's because we haven't had a long-standing food culture...I don't know.
Its as if we believe that what has worked in the past or we've been taught is wrong and the "new" information is right. We don't trust our own judgement. It's not only food, either.
