Ambrosia Dance Club

By Phil F Kearny

We all share certain things in common. Things that transcend international barriers and customs. We all love food and we most of us certainly love sex. If you follow open chat in the Ambrosia Dance Club you will notice that the conversation will often alternate with frequency between these two subjects.

One of the pitfalls of being in the virtual world is the long hours spent sitting on your hindside watching your pixel self gyrating in the club flexing six pack abs. In the meantime, many are clutching a bag of Cheetos in real life wondering why they cant lose weight.

I have run across a great book that explains many of the psychological reasons behind overeating and how the food industry manipulates these forces in order to sell more product. Dr David Kessler MD, the author of “The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite” , served as commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration under presidents George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton. He is a pediatrician and has been the dean of the medical schools at Yale and the University of California, San Francisco.

He actually dove into dumpsters outside of chain restaurants to retrieve lists of ingredients in the foods we commonly eat. This is a fascinating read and I highly recommend it.
