A Modest Proposal

Inspired by President Obama's speech last night and his rethought Afghanistan policy, I began to rethink  my own dietary policies and the unnecessary intake of superfluous and unhealthful calories.  While my plan is not quite as difficult as redeploying troops by the thousands, it does involves the same kind of commitment to the reduction of many hundreds of very tasty treats.  I therefore plan to remove  the three daily scoops of chocolate ice cream starting next month, the two Latte icicles from the midnight snack by December 2011, and become ice-cream-treat-free by the end of 2012.
