Keynote address by Don Sex BY BRUCE LEVETT THE CANADIAN PRESS You're reading this be- cause the word “sex” is up there in the headline, aren't you? - Had you thought for a minute that the subject was, nutrition or’ the fading of courtship, chances are you'd have skipped right on by. Well, it is, Sort’ of. The magic three-letter word ‘has become the great stopper in Canadian society today. Work it into your product or your presentation and you have an audience captured long enough to get your point across. An assistant professor at the University of British Co!- umbia knew this when he laid out his recent lecture on “nutrition. One of the three North Americans is overweight, he said, and.that didn’t win him any headlines, He went on to decry junk foods and fad diets — that didn't do it either. But, when he thundered that “it is estimated that dieting has replaced sex as the national pastime” — Aha. Ears came to a point and nostrils flared. None of the reports of his lecture that I've seen makes it clear when this earth-shaking overtaking took place nor, indeed, who conducted the poll and by how much the dne is pre- ferred over the other.
