Americans consumed with trying to be thin and young.(Originated from Knight-Ridder Newspapers)
I have a confession to make.
Under my clothes, I look like a 37-year-old woman. With good reason _ in a few weeks, I'll be a 37-year-old woman. And I'm OK with that.
You may wonder what that has to do with the Food and Drug Administration's approval of the new fake fat, olestra. After all, most of the hand-wringing over Procter & Gamble's wunderlard has involved olestra's side effects _ the infamous ``anal leakage'' and a tendency to rob the body of carotenoids with possible cancer-fighting powers.
Those things are certainly worth worrying about.
Besides, the last 10 years have brought us Nutrasweet and Snackwell cookies ... and the highest obesity rates in American history. Heck, I don't know if our waistlines can handle another round of fat-free snacks.
But I'm as concerned about what olestra says about our minds as I am about its effect on our bodies.
Since becoming food editor of the Charlotte Observer five years ago, I've confronted the food fight head-on. I've had callers in tears because they were so frightened of consuming even a bite of forbidden fat ... and had others berate me for not running enough dessert recipes.
