Weight is a red herring. 

It's the season of New Year's Resolutions. It's the time when a lot of people fixate on weight loss. 

I've mentioned in previous posts how people talk as if losing weight were some kind of magic tonic. It's starting to really piss me off because it's not the best barometer of health. Health is measured in a million different ways. 

You may want to be healthy. You may want to live a long time. But if you're focusing on the weight, you've caught a red herring.
