On the other hand, I always thought the Subway ads made sense. They always say what the calorie counts are for the bare bones sandwiches, including the fat count, and then mark the vegetable and other toppings for how much they add to the overall sandwich. It wasn't presented as a miracle, but science -- healthy (well, for fast food) food, plenty of exercise, and determination. You know me, I've increased my walking and exercise. In addition, I've gone to whole grains and cut down on the amount of meat I eat (heart condition). I've lost seventy pounds in about two years. I may or may not lose more, but I'm going to stay sensible. I don’t get Jenny Craig or some of the other things. On the other hand, I always thought the Subway ads made sense.

I didn't think your first comment was entirely divorced from the article, and I found the anecdote amusing. No need to apologize, class factotum.
