More From John Gay

I've been to therapists my whole life. i find the less attention i pay to food, the healthier i am. any obsession is dangerous. and a whole country that's obsessed with one thing, unless it's, like, jeans, it's very dangerous. everyone's obsessed right now with carbohydrates in this country. it's ridiculous.
