Dave Barry Is Not Taking This Sitting Down (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
The theme of the show was: “Women Who Cannot Correctly Spell Their Own Names.” No, seriously, the theme was: “Superstars of the Diet Wars.” This was a debate among top diet experts, who felt so strongly about the correct way to lose weight that at times they came close to whacking each other over the head with their competing diet books. Dieting was not always so complicated. Thousands of years ago, there was only one diet book, entitled Don’t Eat Too Much. It consisted of a big stone tablet on which were chiseled the words “DON’T EAT TOO MUCH!” It did not sell well, because nobody could lift it, on top of which everybody back then was busy with other concerns, such as not starving. In modern America, however, food is abundant everywhere except aboard commercial airplanes. Dieting has become a huge industry involving many complex theories that can be confusing to the average layperson sitting on the Barcalounger, trying to decide whether to open a second bag of potato chips or simply eat the onion dip right out of the tub.
