I AM a glutton for punishment!

So, I read this article today, which is all about foods that cause inflammation in the body and can contribute to the yippee-funness of RA pain. 

It lists tomatoes, citrus fruits, bacon, eggs, cheese, soft drinks, chocolate, wine, processed meats and potato chips as the top ten evil-doers of arthritis. 

Let's see. What I have eaten today, you may ask?  (FYI, I am on a brief hiatus from my holier-than-thou diet.)  For lunch, I had a chicken parmesan panini (processed meat, tomato and cheese) and potato chips, and this evening, I indulged in wine and a chocolate covered alfajores from Buenos Aires.  That makes six out of ten.  Clearly, I am on a mission to do myself in.

What can I say? It's the holidays, work is stressful, the temperature in New York City is an ungodly 24 degrees, and further more, at this exact moment, I DON'T CARE!!!!!!!!!!!
