biznatch, that sounds like an interesting book!
grumpy, that would be of greater use, in a sense, but the thought of taking away someone's pleasure just seems wrong to me. Life is already pretty complicated as it is, and adding pleasure to it seems far more positive to me. How about adding pleasure when we eat healthy things and exercise? I prefer a positive to a negative if possible.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
