They’re overweight and have no idea how to eat healthy. If they read blogs like mine, maybe they’d learn something.” However, the Big Six themselves dispute pretty much every aspect of Drummond’s story. Boyle says , “Every single quote attributed to me was taken seriously out of context to fit into the story’s slant. I consider it to be libel.” Heather P of Hangry Pants says , “as stated in the article I ran 10 miles and made Black Bean Brownies in the same day.

Katie of Sweet Taters makes the good point that a mainstream women’s magazine full of “pictures of photoshopped models” is hardly the best place for a critique like Drummond’s.
HEALTHY LIVING: Geriatric consultation: A specialty to care for the elderly
What makes our decision-making process more challenging is that most guidelines used by physicians are based on research studies or trials that specifically exclude the elderly, so those guidelines usually do not apply. Geriatrics is a specialty which is not organ-specific such as those that focus only on the brain, the heart or the lungs might be. Rather Geriatrics crosses all organ systems.

A comprehensive geriatric assessment pays special attention to those issues, as well as functional status, goals of care, and quality of life.

My focus is on maintaining functional status, independence, and quality of life.

The notion that portion control will ensue from willpower alone when Ph.D.s in nutritional biochemistry are collaborating with neuroscientists to ensure that nobody can eat just one… is at best wishful thinking, and at worst downright preposterous. Yes, of course, will is required. Yes, of course, we need a heaping helping of personal responsibility. But before we can take responsibility, we must be empowered with the requisite skills. Mountaineers don’t scale Everest just because they want to; they need skills.
