by Bob Chamberlin / Los Angeles TimesHERE’S the latest diet advice, hot off the presses: Eat less fat. No, eat more protein. And if your ring finger is longer than your index finger, you might also want to avoid tomatoes. Don’t forget to write in your journal every morning. And clean out your refrigerator every week. Oh, and you should drink flavorless oil every day between meals. Add ground-up plant roots to your food. Order the tacos instead of the burrito. Banish Ss from your eating (except on days that begin with S, of course). And never, ever trust the USDA.
