Use Your Instincts

Yet, another reason to despise the best selling “Eat this, Not That” author David Zinczenko, he has attacked the sacred tradition of giving chocolates on Valentine’s Day! Please, can’t there be at least one holiday where we’re not bombarded by the food police. As if most men don’t have enough of a problem trying to decide what to give their lady love, along comes this moron with his suggestions of skipping the romantic dinner out and giving less fattening chocolates to the love of your life. Any man that has been with a woman any length of time at all knows that the only message that sends is, “you seem to be putting on some extra pounds so I bought you this low calorie chocolate covered citrus peel instead”.   If you really want to have a romantic evening with your special someone , go with your own instincts in what to give and how to celebrate your love. If that’s sharing a ten pound box of chocolates or a romantic dinner for two, then by all means do so! As for Mr. Zinczenko’s spiel about how nothing ruins a romantic dinner like unnecessary calories, no sir,  nothing ruins romance like having someone counting calories for you.
