A Dose of Common Sense

 Self proclaimed health expert, and editor of a men’s magazine, David Zinczenko is featured regularly on Yahoo, and while some of what he says is good advice, plain common sense really, the rest is a marketing ploy to sell his latest book and his sponsors products. These articles generally start out with Mr. Z urging people to eat fresh homemade fare, which is definitely the right route to take, but he quickly sidesteps, wrapping up each section with several plugs for particular brands to use just in case you happen to be one of those “rare” busy people with limited time in the kitchen. And, be it a surprise to no one, he has a strong loathing for anything containing corn sugar. Again, he does offer tidbits of good advice for eating healthy, but like all self improvement gurus what he’s dishing up mainly is just a regular old dose of plain common sense. So while Mr. Zinczenko’s seven, or is it eight now, books on eating either this or that can be entertaining late night reading, they are not a required purchase for healthy living, that is unless you’re David Zinczenko and you’re trying to pay for your limestone and Italian marble graced condo.
