I am not a nutritionist or doctor so I am going to leave this one up to the experts. I will just say this, it seems to make sense to me.

My friend Scott Appleman gave me The Cheese Monkeys to read since I am a graphic designer and as I am sure you can tell by the title this is a book about graphic designers written by a graphic designer. This book is a look at 2 semesters in Art School as a group of "real" artists come to the dark side. You see a large proportion of artists see designers as the rogue sect of hacks that couldn't cut it and sold out in order to live in a loft and criticize typefaces instead of dada. Anyway, I like to hear people talk about zany art school antics. I didn't go to art school, and if I had I probably would have been one of the squares in the corner of the class, but I can live vicariously through the crackpots that are willing to write books about it. I'm not really sure how much of this tale to believe but, in the end I didn't care. It was an interesting read, I kind of cared about the characters, and I identified with internal conflict of the characters. Artists have to be deep, controversial, and always pushing society. That can be tiring, especially if you are just a normal guy.
