“The French are not rude. They just happen to hate you. But that is no reason to bypass this beautiful country, whose master chefs have a well-deserved worldwide reputation for trying to trick people into eating snails. Nobody is sure how this got started. Probably a couple of French master chefs were standing around one day, and they found a snail, and one of them said: 'I bet that if we called this something like `escargot,' tourists would eat it.' Then they had hearty laugh, because 'escargot' is the French word for 'fat crawling bag of phlegm.'” PeopleIfsTryingWellsSaidCountryReasonHappensBeautifulHateFoundLaughingMastersCoupleOne DayEatingStandingTricksFatsReputationBagsNo ReasonCulinaryChefRudeHate YouTouristsCrawlingSnailBypassHeartyBeautiful CountryEscargot Book:Dave Barry's Only Travel Guide You'll Ever Need Source: Dave Barry's Only Travel Guide You'll Ever Need

“Anita Johnston, Ph.D., author of Eating in the Light of the Moon, taught me to look in the mirror with curiosity rather than fear. So I may look at my reflection and think, 'That's interesting. I wonder why my body seems bigger today than it did yesterday. Maybe it's water weight. Maybe it's my outfit. Or maybe my eyes are just playing tricks on me.' I know it's not possible for me to gain a noticeable amount of weight overnight, so I will go no further than that. I move on with my day without skipping a beat-and definitely without missing a meal.” ThinkingKnowsLooksMayBodyLightSeemsEyeTodayMovingWaterInterestingWonderMissingTaughtAmountMoonEatingBeatsReflectionGainsWeightBiggerMirrorsCuriosityYesterdayTricksMeals Author:Jenni Schaefer
“I'm not going to lie: There are times I play mind tricks on myself, like that the french fries are poison.
