[quote=BoomerAang]Do some activities together. I play billiards when I talk with guy friends. We go to bars together, bowling, etc. Just find some random activity that you can do together when you meet. K1 in carlsbad? Wine-tasting, microbrewery or bars?[/quote]
I don’t think that addresses the caloric intake problem…. And drinking is even worse in my opinion–the empty calorie conundrum.
The challenge is removing the calories from every aspect of American life. If you go to the beach, people eat and/or drink. If you go bowling, people eat/drink. If you have a party, people eat. The problem is that for some circles, eating has become the focus of every activity.
As for holidays, I think you just have to go with it. They are traditionally “feast” days, so you are fighting hundreds of years of tradition on those occasions.
