An Epidemic

This calorie counting world is driving me crazy. Can we not all eat balanced meals and stop worrying. I have been sucked into this counting world and can't seem to stop. It has gotten to the point where I can't purchase a single item at the grocery store without checking nutritional information for the evil little calories. So what exactly am I putting into my when I purchase the items with no calories or very few? What exactly is in my Diet Coke or the Sweet and Low that I put in my coffee every morning? Could these be even worse for my overall health? I am almost scared to find out. I hope this intense calorie counting trend ends soon so I can stop worrying.
