Another good fact from The Health Institute of Nutrition

[sqbr]

So, on the one hand, I and Cam have been going to weight watchers, and this has on the whole being pretty positive for us both (though admittedly I think it helps that we don't exactly follow the program. Life's too short to count calories). On the other I've been encountering a bunch of blogs etc about how the whole weight loss=healthy thing is a myth. I'm still trying to figure out quite what I think about the whole thing.

But either way I can wholeheartedly recommend The Health Institute of Nutrition, which gives undeniably good advice like "Write your legislators and demand more funding for stigmatizing obesity in inner city schools".

I have many links to blogs that orbit the fatosphere, if you want them. I'm just saying.

Are there any that aren't pushing an agenda to the point of ignoring anything that doesn't support it?

I mean I understand the need for blogs dedicated to pointing out the huge gaping flaws in the crazy anti-fat pro-diet culture we live in, but still, they seem less interested in promoting a balanced way of living as pointing out how unbalanced the dieting lifestyle is, and I already know that(*).

(See my comment to nephron below, my brain ran out partway through this comment so I'm not sure it's very clear :))

(*)I may be on a diet, but I'm not on a diet. If that makes any sense.
