Some of these actresses or public personas who are very public about their disciplined diets, more power to them. I just don't see the point.

I think it was T.S. Eliot who talked about good poetry being felt before it's understood. I believe that. There are some bands where I love their lyrics but I don't have a clue what they're on about.
