Some advice from the guy in Parkdale who’s sharing his diet with the neighbourhood

“Anybody who wants to accomplish anything in life...tell everybody about it. Tell your grandma, tell your dog, or post a sign out in your front lawn.”

—Jason Holborn, the Parkdale guy who has been tracking his “days without sugar” on a sign stuck to his living room window, speaking to the Globe about his unusually public dieting strategy. (The signage is visible to anyone traveling east on the King streetcar, around Dufferin). Holborn has gone almost 600 days without consuming the white stuff.
