Diet Sunglasses Reduce Your Appetite
by Lloyd Alter, Toronto on 04. 2.08
Of course all TreeHugger readers eat like Michael Pollan and ride bikes to work, so they don't need these special diet sunglasses from Yumetai. Evidently the colour blue calms the brain's appetite center, and they also make the food look disgusting. They must work; as Steve says at Inventorspot, "if you think about it, there aren't many obese Japanese walking around outside the sumo dojo." ::Inventorspot via ::Andrew Sullivan
If they don't work, curb your cravings and get it off and keep it off at Planet Green.

Actually, I don't eat like Michael Pollan - I'm a vegetarian. Oddly, it was reading Pollan (who's not) that was the final straw for me. But hey, guilty on the bike commute!
I love capitalism. Take a pair of blue sunglasses and put the word "Diet" on their label, and you've got yourself a business - and tons of free publicity.
you'll lose your appetite and your friends.
I dyed some milk blue once for a lark. It looked like detergent and even tasted a bit more like detergent. But then I don't like drinking milk to start with.
It suds well though.

I'll stick to eating vegan and trying to stay local to help out the environment and keep my weight at a healthy level.
Life sucks enough. Why make it worse by wearing glasses that make food look yucky?
