It seems Time magazine is jumping on the healthy-eating bandwagon, which is a staple of editors looking for easy summer stories that allow them to take vacations. In the current issue, Joel Stein waxes philosophically about chicken for breakfast and why we eat the things we do each morning (which, by the way, are predominantly not good for you -- donuts, bacon, sugar-heavy cereals, three-egg omelets, etc.). Then, Dr. Sanjay Gupta's Fit Nation column delves into the primary reason people fall off the dietary wagon: bad food tastes good. No kidding. A solution? "When it's time for a diet, the first thing you want to do is hit the spice rack," he writes. Great idea, but honestly, how many of us know how to cook well with the abundance of spices available at the local market? To eat well, both for good health and good flavor, takes real effort. Every day. Every week. Yikes. It's like having a part-time job.
