It’s a bigger discussion. Is food about sustenance or pleasure or both? Though I’m not a customer of McDonalds or Subway, isn’t the reason we exercise is so we can order the side of fries?

I used to hike 10-12 mi on wknds in Marin, for the same reasons you cited Jonathan. And, my hiking buddies did the same – while they were in good enough condition to hike the miles, they all stuffed themselves afterwards with the unhealthiest of food choices. I always thought that no amount of exercise would burn off the side of cow, plate of dairy with carbs, and greasy fries. Hence, most of them were chubby. I always brought my own fruit, salad & nuts on the trail, which earned me the nic name ‘salad lady’. Eating healthy these days require vigilance; I call it “defensive eating”. The other disturbing trend I am noticing is that ppl have simply given up, and accept that they are fat, and are in ‘grand’ company.

I agree; two wrongs don’t make a right, so making more sound health choices, is the key to a better life:)
