What 'good' food advice doesn't 'work' for you...

...in achieving your personal goals. I don't mean silly adviice like being terrified of carbohydrates and fats of any kind. But 'good' advice like keeping a garden. It sounds lovely, but frankly, as a single person, I think nutritionally I get more variety by buying my produce, rather than the inevitably more limited supply provided by a plot. The one year I had a garden the summer squash took over and I don't even really like summer squash. Yes, I could give it away but that defeats the economic purpose of gardening since I have to buy the stuff I really want. Plus, I'd rather spend my time running around outside than bent over in dirt.

For some, larger families I see the value, especially to educate kids about where food comes from, but not for me...ditto on buying in bulk from Costco. I'd rather regularly have fresh stuff and stocking up seems to encourage over-consumption.

What good food advice (advice that seems reasonable) somehow doesn't work for all of you?
