Winedrinking make you fat

... or so says the Sunday Telegraph.

Of course, if you drink "moderately", and gain 7 lbs. a year, and you do so for, say ten or fifteen years, well, you will need a crane to go from a to b!

Joking aside, there is an element of truth to this. It is the one and only reason I go to the gym as often as I can.

However, there is no reason that moderate wine consumption ***at mealtimes*** accompanied by a balanced diet should make you fat.
Are the French and Italians fat?

Don't you sometimes feel as though there is an army of people out there that want to make us feel guilty about all the good things in life?

As for myself, they'll have to try much, much harder .

An army, hell... they are there in hordes, riding on their high horses. And they are known as "the barbarians". As to the reported overgeneralized, single-factor and non-replicable "research", I can only resort to a Russian words of which I am quite fond: "bullshitsky".

Calories make people fat. I choose to allocate some of mine to wine. The fact that I consume too much is significantly more related to my inability to control breakfast portion sizes.
