I've been to therapists my whole life. I find the less attention I pay to food the healthier I am. Any obsession is dangerous. And a whole country that's obsessed with one thing unless it's like jeans it's very dangerous. Everyone's obsessed right now with carbohydrates in this country. It's ridiculous.
The biggest lesson from Africa was that life's joys come mostly from relationships and friendships not from material things. I saw time and again how much fun Africans had with their families and friends and on the sports fields they laughed all the time.
