    In 2000, I posted a poll asking : "What do you think about the Government Dietary Guidelines? "

    Four hundred and fifty respondents of my weight loss survey voted:

  • I agree and follow them (6 percent)
  • I agree but don't follow them (7 percent)
  • I disagree (77 percent)
  • What are they? (10 percent)

  • vegetarianism (5 percent); and
