Sian Ka'an: Fragile paradise
Where the sky meets the sea in Quintana Roo
By Catherine Dunn Original Print Publication: July, 2008
Cameron Boyd was on vacation ten years ago when he discovered the 405-meter stretch of white beach. At the time, the oceanfront property was home to the ruins of an abandoned hotel and some chital palms. It sat just south of the Tulum archaeological site in the state of Quintana Roo, inside the Sian Ka'an Biosphere.
Boyd bought it and turned the land into what is now the Centro Ecológico Sian Ka'an (CESIAK), a collection of fifteen tent-cabins on stilts, a restaurant, and the launch point for tours of the Biosphere's mangrove-filled lagoon, once part of a trade route in the Mayan empire. The business's revenues maintain a staff of thirty-four and pay for environmental educational programs for schoolchildren in Tulum, beach cleanups, and staff to monitor the four turtle species that nest here beginning each May.
The founding principle of the project was to combine ecological and economic sustainability. He was interested, he says, in "a way to combine some income- generating activity with conservation work."
As a commercial venture inside the Biosphere, CESIAK has to abide by a lengthy list of strict rules. "We're very much regulated in everything we do— which I think is a positive thing," Boyd says.
For example, CESIAK's structures can cover only 1 to 2 percent of the total surface area of the property. All of their equipment, down to the kayaks, is documented, registered, and insured. Voluntarily, CESIAK captures rain water, runs mostly on wind and solar power, and employs composting and special waste treatment systems—all while catering to about 500 people per month who sign-up for kayaking, boating, bird-watching, and fishing tours.
"I think the answer is 'Yes, it can work'," says Boyd, 34, who wrote a college thesis on protected lands in Africa before becoming an environmental sciences teacher.
In addition to CESIAK, he now owns a similar ecological center in Belize.
"Certainly no one's getting rich off of it," he adds, "[but] it is self-funding."
Sian Ka'an, which means "where the sky begins," encompasses about 657,000 hectares that include the coral reef in the turquoise Caribbean Sea off the coast, the powdery beaches, and the lagoon on the other side of a narrow dirt-packed road. The area became a UNESCO biosphere in 1986, and is regulated by the Mexican government according to the United Nations' "Man and the Biosphere" guidelines. A core zone—"where no activity can take place whatsoever," Boyd explains—is surrounded by a buffer zone of palm-dotted land, lagoon, beaches, and coral reefs.
CESIAK leads its tours in this buffer zone. My cousin and I were signed up for one on a windwhipped day. We looked to the skies and questioned whether we should be venturing into the Sian Ka'an biosphere reserve by boat. But no matter: our guide Jorge, an ornithologist who has been working as a researcher in the biosphere for ten years, picked us up at our hotel in Tulum, and the van bumped down the road from Sian Ka'an's northern entrance.
Over the next several hours we explored seven ecosystems on foot, by boat, and floating in life jackets through the mangroves. Starting with our backs to the roiling sea, we picked our way along the spongy, damp floor of the chital forest, where blue crabs scurried sideways and termite nests clung to tree trunks. We came out from the chital and found ourselves among the gray-button, white, and black mangroves before boarding a small motorboat that took us into the labyrinthine channels of mangrove and savanna islands. We spotted orchids, cormorants, herons, and stopped at a little Mayan temple. The Mayans traded fruits and cacao along these waters, from the Yucatán peninsula to El Salvador, Guatemala, and Belize.
By the time we circled back to CESIAK for lunch, we were thoroughly soaked—not just from our swim through the mangroves, but from Tropical Storm Arthur, which broke while we were on our tour.
In fact, hurricanes pose the biggest threat to CESIAK's business. Tourist traffic drops after one strikes, and there are high rebuilding costs. If a hurricane were to destroy part of the center, they could rebuild, but unlike the proprietors of hotels and bungalows just a few kilometers away on Tulum's tourist strip, they would have to pass through a rigorous review and permit process all over again. Boyd says it certainly would have been easier to set up a straight tourism venture outside the biosphere. And there are times when the financial risk can seem "scary." But the business is standing on its own legs, the turtles are nesting, and hundreds of school kids are learning about their neighboring ecosystem.
Boyd thinks he's stayed true to the vision he had a decade ago.
"I'm pretty proud of that," he says

Yet sources told The Hollywood Reporter that the People report is no April Fools joke and that Sheen is indeed serious about wanting to leave. Last year, CBS picked up Men through its ninth season, which keeps the rolex watches show on replica watches the air through 2011-12. With Sheen's contract up and CBS having committed to additional seasons, the actor is in prime position to call the shots during his negotiations. If Sheen does exit, it will create a difficult-to-fill vacancy in the delicate balance of a popular broadcast sitcom. Rarely have networks replica rolex successfully breitling replaced a departing star. Though companion Big Bang Theory has stepped up at 9:30 p.m. and edged out Men as the top Monday comedy, Men is still a ratings powerhouse in that evening's block.Two-time Golden Globe winner John Forsythe died of pneumonia late Thursday at the rolex age of 92. Beginning breitling watches in 1982, Forsythe racked up six consecutive Globe bids for best actor in a drama series for Dynasty, winning in 1983 and 1984.
But what about regular moviegoers — would they even notice replica watches anything amiss with the movie's 3-D? It's no small question for replica watches Hollywood. With at least 70 movies replica watches in the 3-D pipeline — including replica watches many similar replica watches conversion projects — studios and theater owners are betting replica watches heavily that audiences will snap up increasingly expensive replica watches 3-D tickets. Mr. Cameron, whose Avatar sparked this fervor by racking up nearly watches $2.7 billion replica watches in global ticket watches sales, fretted to Deadline.com that Warner is expecting the same result, when watches in fact they will probably work against the watches adoption of 3-D, because they'll be putting out an inferior product. Clash replica watch of the Titans, a $122 replica watch rolex watches million remake of the campy 1981 original, replica watch opened in wide release on Friday, and early feedback indicates that Joe replica watch and Jane Moviegoer don't really see what all the fuss is about. Indeed, despite the negative fake watches media coverage fake watches of the film, box office forecasters say the picture is on track to fake watches sell between $60 million and $70 million in tickets fake watches by Monday — a very robust result.

The resemblance to the space shuttle isn't surprising. The X-37, in fact, was originally a NASA program, with roots in the space agency's lifting-body research, that ran from 1999 to 2004.

I dont really understand this comment. Hewlett announced in April that he was attending Michigan as a preferred walkon and is listed as a DB. Not sure how this would be related to a scholarship WR being suspended in August for an incident that supposedly happened in July (both well after it was determined Hewlett was walking on).
Peppers at 10, which seems low.

Have you read the Time Out Film Guide review of Network? If not, here's a link to Google's cache of it so you don't have to register. You won't agree with it, but I sure as heck do.
- Login to post comments
Thanks for the link. Honestly, I was expecting to be underwhelmed (I'd tried to watch it once before and given up after fifteen minutes, muttering something about not getting the joke), but it won me over. Had to dock it a few points for the grandstanding acting and rather unsubtle Chayefsky script... but then, since when has Chayefsky been subtle? If anything, I think it's more relevant today than it was 29 years ago.
But it's no "Up!" :-)
- Login to post comments
I see you loved Up!, may I ask for an explanation for the A rating!!?
- Login to post comments
On a totally unrelated related subject, you know the shots I love best in later Russ Meyer, the shots of gigantically bosomed ladies running stark naked across pastoral landscapes as the narrator reads Meyer's hackneyed prose, it always brings a smile to my face. It always makes me wonder is they couldn't stop and put on a few clothes or if they were so excited they just couldn't be bothered, not that I'm complaining.
- Login to post comments
LOL... well, part of my reasoning behind the rating is indeed the multitude of shots involving bosomy women running around sans clothes for no reason at all. But really, my grade reflects my firm belief that it's Meyer's masterpiece -- a fevered and exciting ultimate expression of all the things that obsessed him. Now I know why "Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens" felt so tired -- Meyer emptied his tank with this one. It's his requiem to softcore cinema.
Besides, any film that has the audacity to open with Hitler getting A) butt-raped and B) murdered by a pirahna has to get at least an A-, right?
- Login to post comments
ha! That is the truth, Hitler begging for anal sex is something few movies ever tackle, and maybe more should. I enjoy this one greatly as well, although I'm not sure I would give it an (A) just because in the cosmic scheme of things any film this horny can't be great, can it?
My other favourite part happens to be the explanation at the end of who killed who containing a classic exposition which makes the narrator remark, "well I don't think anyone expected that!". Perhaps it is worth an A alfter all.
great review BTW.

Hey, Steve-O, I share you dislike for Mike Hodges' "ISWID." What did you think about "Croupier"?
- Login to post comments
I really dug "Croupier". Thought it was a cool, cool movie. "I'll Sleep", though, felt like an experiment in remaking "Get Carter" while removing the narrative engine, then (to paraphrase a line from Ebert) sitting back and seeing how slow it can go before it stops.

I may have been impatient and cranky, seeing as how I'd suffered through the Santo film prior to "Melvin". But I gave the film twenty minutes and spent fifteen of them wanting to reach through the screen and bitchslap the four friends. Maybe it gets better from there. I don't think I'll be finding out. (Bob, what happened? Was David the funny one all along?)

You're being way too kind to "The Jigsaw Killer."

What kind of misadventures do you think he'll get into in "Saw 2: Electric Boogaloo," coming to a theatre near you next October?
And, how exactly could ANYONE remain completely still for hours in front of a surgeon without letting on that he was indeed alive?
- Login to post comments
Well, that's easy. Being that he was in the final stages of incurable brain cancer, he wasn't really lying still by choice. He was fading in and out of consciousness, all the while hoping he'd be lucky enough to find himself awake when it came time to finish the job.
I think the real question is how exactly a man paying thousands in hospital bills finds the money to set up all those deathtraps, not to mention mustering the energy to set them all up, since as I understand it brain cancer and its treatment can take a lot out of you.

Is it me, or does Mira Nair have no idea what she's doing?
It's you. Though it won't win any awards for originality, "Wedding" was generally received warmly by critics when it was released. I thought it was pleasant enough, though hardly revelatory.

Even if it's a one person boat, I'm in it too.
I doubt Mira Nair would get anywhere near the attention she does if she were a he, and he wasn't from India.

That's what spurred my comment -- its general pleasantness. Against this cheerful and likeable (if bland and familiar) backdrop, throwing something like the incest subplot in at the last minute reveals to me that you have little to no understanding of the film you wish to make.

No you're not alone, and I totally agree qith QC's statement.
I would have at best given it a D.
And the other film I've seen by her (Kama Sutra) is as bad!
Seems to me like a director that is liked by the public (and critics) for her exoticism, while her films have very little substance.

"Kama Sutra." I'd forgotten all about that one. And, I haven't seen "Salaam Bombay." I still think, though, that "Monsoon Wedding" is moderately enjoyable entertainment. Nothing spectacular, but not unpleasant.

Y'know, I've been tentatively looking forward to Crying Freeman ever since seeing Brotherhood of the Wolf, but I keep stalling because I have a hard time believing I'd rate it any higher than you have. Also, Netflix doesn't have it, so that makes it vastly easier to resist.

Yeah, considering I swapped for it with another rare-movie collector, the final product seems hardly worth the effort to track it down. At least it wasn't as bad as some of the stuff I've traded for, though.

Oh God. Is it ever. The film strains so hard to be enigmatic that, at some point, it ceases to exist.

Nice list. I agree with quite some of them. But why didn't you like "Ray"? Great performances, great music, and I thought even the drama side of it was portrayed rather well (like how the death of his little brother still hunts him.) I must honestly say I thought it was one of the better films of last year.

Eh. I found it pretty rote by biopic standards. (I'm not a biopic fan.) Foxx was excellent, though.

Are you sure that The Aviator is as good as The Magnificent Ambersons? And only a B for Vivre Sa Vie? Personally I think it might be Godard's greatest film
- Login to post comments
Both "Aviator" and "Ambersons" fall into the respect category -- I respect both films, and I think they have some great moments. But I don't think I'll ever need to see either of them again.
And "My Life to Live" is good, but I didn't warm to it like I have the other early Godards I've seen. I have no idea why. Maybe because I'm not the biggest fan of neo-realism, so a lot of the film's early segments just seemed a mite bit dull to me.

It's not that it's not worth seeing, but the second half of the film pretty much negates the promise of the first half. It's just another action film, but it had the ability to be so much more.

MINDHUNTERS B FREAKING MINDHUNTERS, one of the worst, but i admit intentionally hilarious movies i ever seen. Come on how can you admit liking a movie with a death by freezing, awful awful effects, predictable, overedited, no character development at all. Horrible.

It's junk, but it's high-energy junk that's well-paced and (dare I say it?) well-directed. Besides, the death-by-freezing was awesome.

I am so getting the "Mindhunters" DVD from YesAsia.com for $12. Don't know why I didn't think of that sooner. On a related note, have you seen the unrated, dubbed DVD cut of "Haute Tension"?

Nope, and I was soooo excited to see "Haute Tension" getting a wide theatrical release until I learned that Lion's Gate had dubbed it into English. The cuts I can handle, but dubbing? Come on LG, this isn't Jackie Chan. You're usually better than this.
- Login to post comments
True, but I can understand why they would do it. "Haute Tension" is - supposedly - not very dialogue-heavy and they're trying to sell it to a mainstream, non-arthouse crowd. Few foreign language movies do as well here as, say, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" did. Anyway, the DVD I just got from eBay is the dubbed, uncut version. We'll see how it goes...

I know I'm gonna stand alone on this, judging from the film's reception, but from where I stand "Batman: Dominion" is even more of a mercenary bottom-line franchise product than "Star Wars: Revenge of the Merchandising". Also, Chris Nolan cannot direct an action scene. Enough with the faux-Scott shaky-cam, goddammit.

Romero means to go on as he started -- twenty years on and he's still pissed about the state of America. This latest salvo from his zombie can(n)on is a pretty vicious attack on the American class system and the increasing social paranoia against 'outsiders'. But more than that, it's also an astonishingly well-paced and hideous horror movie. Awfully funny at times too, in a bleak sort of way.
Plus, there's an amazing amount of gore.

I'm pissed that I probably won't be able to see this until it hits DVD. This is one of the times that I lament the demise of New Orleans' ratty old Downtown Joy Theatre, which used to show all the best (and worst) horror movies and was only a bus ride away from home.

"Madera, a land yet to be discovered!" Madera by Arquemond
Madera Travel Guide: 1 reviews and 6 photos
even though I don�t live in Madera, I have been doing work there since 2002. I am a freelance video maker and web developer based in Chihuahua City, who also happens to have a second nature for exploring the outdoors. I was required to make a documentary video on the archaeological sites that the municipality has, and I was amazed at the richness I found. Whether it is about historical events, archaeology, magnificent sights and many other eco touristic activities, this place I feel has a very strong cultural importance and so much potential for eco tourism.
Madera is the doorway to the Sierra Madre Occidental Northwestern end. Here you can find different tourist attractions like: archaeological trails -- Choose from four different hikes into the cliff dwellings of the Paquime Culture, keen to the Anazasi and Mogollon in USA, bird watching -- You can visit one of the nesting spots for the thick-billed parrot or the eared quetzal, rafting -- plunge into the Papigochi River rapids (category 3), camping -- If something the Sierra Madre has, is camping places; although rustic. But after all, is it not what you look for when you eco travel? , sightseeing -- At the edge of the Sierra Madre Occidental, Madera is in the middle of many beautiful sights: from high mountain forests, to deep canyons, to grasslands and a valleys, you must not miss it!
- Pros:Unique sights and places
- Cons:not much touristic infrastructure
- In a nutshell:Madera, a land yet to be discovered!

Last Modified: Wednesday, December 28, 2011 at 10:22 a.m.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The Southeastern Conference has unveiled its 2012 football schedule with its two newest members Missouri and Texas A&M opening play Sept. 8, and Alabama will visit LSU in a rematch of the Bowl Championship Series national championship Nov. 3.
Missouri will play the 2012 season in the SEC East and hosts Georgia on Sept. 8. Texas A&M will be in the West and hosts Florida. The first conference game will be Aug. 30 when South Carolina visits Vanderbilt. The SEC says the 2012 schedule is not based on any previous or future formats and that athletic directors will meet in the spring to decide the formula for future schedules.

As someone who does bodybuilding as a hobby, anyone who is into fitness or living healthy will tell you that a multivitamin is the essential health cornerstone. Now regardless of whether you are someone who exercises frequently or sparingly, but you need or want a multivitamin, this is for you. From day one, I have felt my energy levels rise. I am able to focus more. I feel better daily and I am able to complete more. All natural, once a day, one pill, and no crazy fillers, rainbow light for men is the way to go. After switching from Animal Pak for trainers, I have noticed a sizable difference and I will not be going back. Thanks rainbow light!

Bitter taste but very effective
Posted by 4903614705360442736 on Oct 17, 2012
Its taste is really bad and feels like vomiting as soon as you take it in your mouth with water. It must be taken with or between meal. But its really effective and good for body. I believe the taste is due to a reason, it's made of all natural ingredients and no artificial substances are included. Well overall it's an excellent product if you bear and don't care the smell and taste.

OldG, Thankyou too, the guitar is a 50th B/Day present from my wife and kids. I was given a budget and told to "go get it". I reckon I played 30 guitars over three months before settling on this one (probably picked up 100).
It's by no means the most expensive, and I'm really impressed that you could detect the "sweetness" from that clip.

Pathfinder, if you keep playing the guitar, flex in your fingers will just "happen". Keep at it!

That was a very well done and informative video. I think many will enjoy that. I certainly did.
Even brought out some names I haven't seen here before.

F chords often make me say a word or two that start with the letter F.
Lately what I've been trying to force myself to do is to make my F chords with my index finger across all three treble strings, instead of just the bottom two. That way I can make an F minor just by lifting my middle finger off. It's not easy, though, and it's a harder transition from some other chords; like from C.
Don't know if that's a useful idea to anyone else, but I thought I'd put it out there.

A Celebration of Mothers from StoryCorps
Penguin Press HC, The, Hardcover, 9781594202612, 208pp.
Publication Date: April 15, 2010
"What I want to say to you is that sometimes life catches you by surprise and you feel unequipped to handle what it brings you, but every bit of life you've lived before that moment equips you to live through it. That's what I would give to you." -Fanni Victoria Green-Lemons, in conversation with her daughter, Danyealah Green-Lemons
In Mom, Dave Isay-StoryCorps's founder and the editor of the project's bestselling collection, Listening Is an Act of Love-presents a celebration of American mothers. Featuring StoryCorps's most revelatory stories on the subject, Mom looks across a diversity of experience to present an entirely original portrait of motherhood.
Through conversations between parents and children, husbands and wives, siblings and friends, the life of the American mother unfolds. In stories that take us from the woods of New Hampshire to urban Detroit and beyond, we meet mothers and children from all walks of life-an immigrant mother instilling in her children the importance of education, adult children caring for an elderly parent, a woman remembering the sound of her mother's laugh, and mothers and children of all ages learning to grow into new roles over time. Visiting families in moments of profound joy and sadness, courage and despair, struggle and triumph, we learn new truths about that most primal and sacred of bonds-the relationship between mother and child.
With this vital contribution to the American storybook, StoryCorps has created a tribute to mothers that honors the wealth of our national experience. An appreciation of the wisdom and generosity passed between mothers and children, this generation to the next, Mom offers powerful lessons in the meaning of family and the expansiveness of the human heart.

On Jan. 14, members of the Georgia General Assembly kicked off their annual orgy of legislation, lobbyist dinners, back-room deals, and chicanery that ends with an explosion of thrown paper and huzzahs known as Sine Die. There will be debates, photo ops, and possibly fistfights. And maybe some actual policymaking.
The 40-day legislative session is guaranteed to bring awkward and embarrassing moments, and will affect your life. While we're sure to get bills about the conservative issue du jour or resolutions honoring local football teams, state senators and representatives will also make important decisions affecting health care, transportation, criminal justice, and their own ethical behavior.
Republicans control every statewide elected office and nearly enjoy a supermajority in the Georgia House of Representatives and Senate. But considering it's not an election year, chances of oddball legislation about evil United Nations plots to take over the world and resolutions honoring WrestleMania are less likely to come up. Still, be on the lookout for lawmakers' pet causes to get some attention.
Without further ado, CL presents its annual rundown of the biggest issues lawmakers are expected to tackle from now until the gavel pounds the session to a close at midnight on Sine Die.
Ask any elected official, lobbyist, or policy wonk what issue will dominate the legislative session and they'll point you to the state budget. Over the last four years, Georgia lawmakers have cut an estimated $2 billion from the spending plan, resulting in layoffs, furloughs, fewer school days, and less environmental regulators.
Only when Gov. Nathan Deal releases his budget plan for the next fiscal year on Jan. 17 will we know just how bleak the outlook is. But things are expected to get ugly. Tax collections brought in less than anticipated in 2012. In addition, the state is looking at a shortfall of more than $430 million in Medicaid funding for the current fiscal year, which ends in the summer.
Filling part of this budget hole depends on whether the Legislature can renew the so-called "bed tax" on private and public hospitals that expires June 30. The tax on hospitals' net profits helps the state pull down federal funding, which is then redistributed to the hospitals. Should the tax not be renewed, according to various reports, lawmakers in the next fiscal year might have to cut as much as $650 million more from the budget.
The Georgia Hospital Association says it's more or less OK with extending the tax. But anti-tax activist Grover Norquist of the Washington, D.C.-based Americans for Tax Reform has said that lawmakers that vote for the measure would violate an anti-tax pledge many of them signed. Top leaders dare not call it a "tax." House Speaker David Ralston, R-Blue Ridge, calls it a "Medicaid assessment fee." Deal calls it a "provider fee." He's even pitched an idea that would prevent lawmakers from voting on the measure, giving them cover.
There will be other cuts. Alan Essig of the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute, a nonpartisan think tank that's criticized the General Assembly for cutting public services to the bone, says state lawmakers could avoid such dire questions if they'd actually fund the kind of government Georgia needs. That could be achieved by hiking the state's super-low cigarette tax, an idea that polls well, or revising the state's dusty tax code, parts of which were written in the 1950s.
Honestly, we might not know how dire the situation really is until March, since more than half of the state's funding comes from the federal government. The recent "fiscal cliff" talks delayed decisions on federal spending cuts, which could leave as much as $100 million of the state's funding in limbo. Some lawmakers have proposed calling a time-out on the session and reconvening in April to pass the budget — a rare move.
Every year, City Hall drafts up a late Christmas list of legislation it would like to see the Legislature approve. This year, Mayor Kasim Reed is asking state lawmakers to approve fees and surcharges to operate the municipal court and city jail, increase alcohol taxes, and promise to spend cash earmarked to clean up dumped tires on, well, actually cleaning up dumped tires. That cash often goes to padding the state budget. Interestingly, Atlanta also wants Georgia to start following the lead of other cities around the country and allow fractional sales taxes. Such a move could raise millions of dollars for the city's arts, infrastructure, public safety, and other programs and would be easier for taxpayers to swallow. Finally, Reed wants the Legislature to clarify what it can do after condemning blighted private property. As CL went to press, the Atlanta City Council still had to sign off on the list.

I am struggling to change the font displayed on my blog (life/style/flash.) as page/date/author links and also as widget titles.
It's a capitalised serif font in a pale grey - I'd rather have a modern sans serif to match the rest of my blog.
Any ideas how I go about changing it?
Thanks in advance.

Seismic Hazards -- Maps, Probabilities, and EQ Engineering - 2 of 18
Seismic Hazards -- Maps, Probabilities, and EQ Engineering FAQs - 18 Found
Seismic hazard is the hazard associated with potential earthquakes in a particular area, and a seismic hazard map shows the relative hazards in different areas. The maps are made by considering what we currently know about: 1) past faults and earthquakes; 2) the behavior of seismic waves as they travel through different parts of the U.S. crust; and 3) the near-surface site conditions at specific locations of interest. Hazard maps can be used for land-use planning, mitigation, and emergency response.
The different maps show different probabilities that are selected to provide an idea of the relative range of hazard across the US. The larger probabilities indicate the level of ground motion likely to cause problems in the western US. The smaller probabilities show how unlikely damaging ground motions are in many places of the eastern US. However, basically the values chosen reflect the more recent history in earthquake engineering.
How does an individual person select a map? Technical users probably have to follow predefined rules. A non-technical person may be interested in avoiding living in a location where significant shaking will cause worry, deciding on whether to carry earthquake insurance, or deciding whether to do some rehabilitation for an existing dwelling. The probability level chosen should reflect how anxious one is to avoid earthquake shaking.
Earthquake Hazards 101: The Basics provides more details on all of these questions.

When people talk about how to get this country back into shape–two out of three Americans are overweight, one out of three obese–they often talk about fruits and vegetables.
In other words, we should eat more of them. Fruits and vegetables make us healthy and skinny. Meats and processed foods make us unhealthy and fat.
But I've long questioned this belief, in part because my own first dieting experience was with the meat-and-processed-f0od-centric Atkins diet, and it worked. On the Atkins diet, I ate very little fruit, limited vegetables, a whole lot of meats and cheeses, and frequent heavily-processed Atkins bars. I was never terribly heavy, but I dropped 20 pounds quickly on the diet and, except for bouts where I strayed from the Atkins diet, never gained it back.
So it's hard for me to accept that we need to eat fruits and vegetables in order to stay skinny. ("Health" may be a very different issue.) And so I've previously advocated that, because fruits and veggies are often unpleasant thoughts for people and so tying them to a healthy, weight-losing diet makes eating healthy and staying thin sound unpleasant, we should stop tying a healthy diet to fruits and veggies.
Instead, we should stay away from what Atkins, the more nuanced South Beach Diet, and Gary Taubes' recommended diet, says is the real culprit in weight gain: refined carbohydrates. Do this, and weight and health should take care of itself. For not only do refined carbohydrates add essentially empty calories, but they seem to cause us to need to obtain additional vitamins and nutrients from the rest of our diet than we'd need if we never ate those refined carbohydrates to begin with. So, nutritious fruits and veggies may be necessary if we rely heavily on refined carbohydrates for our calories; but are they necessary if we don't?
Similarly, there's been lots of talk lately (see the documentary Forks over Knives) about how eating animal products is heavily correlated to higher rates of cancer and heart disease, and fruits and veggies to lower rates. But it wasn't clear to me that, if we cut the cancer- and heart-disease causing animal products from our diets, that actually eating fruits and veggies would be necessary. (We could potentially live just fine off pasta, brown rice and whole grain cereal.)
But I'm starting to wonder if there's something to fruits and veggies themselves that's beneficial. First off–and this is purely anecdotal–my sister and her husband have kept remarkably slender (seemingly moreso as time passes) on a diet that is remarkably heavy in vegetables. (My sister cooks almost every night.) Second–and also anecdotal–I've started regaining some weight myself, despite keeping largely away from refined carbohydrates. Part of this may stem from my recent, and long dormant, return to lifting weights, but part of it may well be dietary. Finally, I've come across Dr. Neal Barnard's books lately on vegan, low-fat dieting, which is founded upon mixing legumes (e.g., beans), vegetables, fruits and grains–not relying unduly on any one or the other. And Dr. Barnard looks so darned slender on his book jackets and in his media appearances.
So are fruits and vegetables necessary for staying healthy and slim? The first part is hard to answer; the second somewhat easier, because we can test slenderness adequately enough on the scale. And my results from following Dr. Barnard's diet–with exceptions–for two weeks is that I am indeed losing weight, a full three pounds in 14 days. And this is despite eating an occasional full-fat, full-sugar dessert (something I almost never do) meat, butter and cream (something I also rarely do) and French fries (something I do too often) out at restaurants or in pubs these past couple weeks.
So it's possible that Dr. Barnard's diet is very powerful when followed properly. And it incorporates ample fruits and vegetables. And the reason I'm buying into it, for now, in particular, is that I haven't restrained myself in any way from eating as much as I want of the foods prescribed in his cookbook. I eat until I'm full, often even beyond full; I never go hungry; I've been sloppy about the diet; and yet the weight has been coming off. (And note, to put the three pounds in perspective: I wasn't overweight to begin with.) The diet shows promise. I'll continue to test it, and fruits and vegetables in general, in the future and share my findings.
Do you find that eating fruits and vegetables (and not refraining from unhealthy foods) helps you to lose weight?

Cast: Jamie Brooks, Jassie (I), Ashley Long, Ben English, Nina Bonet, Jay Ashley, Ben Bratt, Mark Davis, Aspen Stevens, Lee Stone
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
Stock with either teen titles or other Metro releases.
Five young girls star in this flick, and each of them get properly and professionally fucked by experienced male talent. And while the girls are all undoubtedly good looking and sexy, they're just not offering up their all.
Jamie Brooks gets her anal cherry popped by Mark Davis. But the scene is more of an anal training course than a serious anal free-for-all. Jassie is a petite dynamo, but she doesn't seem too enthused to fuck. Nina Bonet almost seems bothered.
Aspen Stevens, however, is a submissive cutie, who is more than eager to fuck. And Ben English makes her beg for it. Then he nearly suffocates her with his dick in what turns out to easily be the hottest scene in the flick - but still, more fury than passion.
Statuesque Ashley Long provides a good closer, thanks to a nasty, inspired double-teaming at the hands of Jay Ashley and Ben Bratt.
