The Priming Reflex: How to Control Your Appetite (And Turn Your Back on a Million Years of Evolution) (October 2009)
The priming reflex might be the single most unfortunate legacy of human evolution.

Read this post to learn how to fight off the priming reflex--and keep it from subverting your health and your diet.

Doesn't exercise fit into the picture? You can't just eat your way to good health. It is an overall program with diet, exercise, attitude and self-reliance.
We don't need the government to get involved in our lives any more than they are.

Hi Mike, yes you're right, exercise is a huge part of the picture. And think your position on government involvement in our lives was one shared by a few (but not all) of the roundtable members. Thanks for your comment.
