Quote by Andrew Weil

Most American diets, even bad ones, provide more than enough calcium for bone health, especially for men.

Most American diets, even bad ones, provide more than enough

Summary

This quote highlights that the typical American diet, despite being of poor quality in many cases, still tends to provide adequate amounts of calcium for maintaining optimal bone health, particularly among men. Calcium is essential for building and maintaining strong bones, and this statement implies that even individuals with unhealthy eating habits generally consume sufficient amounts of this mineral. It suggests that focusing solely on calcium intake may not be necessary for most men within the American context, as their diets commonly meet the basic requirements for promoting robust bone structure.

Annie turned away, her eyes glittering. 'Here's what no one tells you,' she said. 'When you deliver a fetus, you get a death certificate, but not a birth certificate. And afterward, your milk comes in, and there's nothing you can do to stop it.' She looked up at me. 'You can't win. Either you have the baby and wear your pain on the outside, or you don't have the baby, and you keep that ache in you forever. I know I didn't do the wrong thing.

One's condition on marijuana is always existential. One can

One's condition on marijuana is always existential. One can feel the importance of each moment and how it is changing one.
