Does It Matter What You Eat?

Does it really matter if you eat solely organic food or are you allowed to indulge every so often?  How about all the time?  Mr. D'Amico defies the rules many coaches, trainers, and nutritionists set out, throw out the whole organic vegetables and wild raised poultry in exchange for... MacDonalds?

He has conquered 15+ marathons and has a personal best of 2hours 36 minutes and 14 seconds.  The diet he chose for his last marathon was composed primarily of overly processed menu items from the 'Golden Arches.'  He and nutritionists battle the ever-growing debate, does it really matter what kind of macronutrients you eat, as long as they are within your caloric requirements and of proper percentages?

I'll let you be the judge on that, but feel free to read the article, I am sure it will make you feel less guilty the next time you are in line at the MacDonalds Drive Thru.
