Another New Year is upon us, and that means that it’s resolution time again. Like the vast majority of people who make resolutions, mine typically revolve around making positive changes to my diet and fitness regimes, and tend to be broken within a matter of weeks.

I really thought it was something similar to the ‘SuperSize Me’ documentary that had everyone running away from McDonalds.   Turns out, I couldn’t have watched a more timely documentary.
