I think nutrition is one of the most
significant issues in society today. Much of the problem stems from
a lack of consumer awareness.
Did you know that if you
Supersize a Big MacŪ you consume 75% of your
daily allowance of calories and 94% of your daily allowance of fat.
This means that people who routinely
eat fast food often consume as much as two days worth of food every day.
We have put together some recipes
that taste good and are better for you. | |

Fats, Oils and Sweets |
|
We need to
exercise great care, caution, and
restraint when eating foods from this
group. Given the
amount of fats, oils and sugars present in
the other food groups, anyone eating a
full-fat or non-diet version of anything
in this group is asking for trouble. |

Dairy / Meat, Eggs, Beans, Nuts |
| For many Americans
the foods that we grew up eating plenty of
are right here. Being more selective and
eating less in this group is important. |

Fruits and Vegetables |
| Studies
indicate that the
average American doesn't eat enough of
these. Things would go a lot smoother if
we did. We
should try harder. |

|
Bread, Cereal, Rice and Pasta |
| We often
overlook many important aspects of this
group. The serving size is small. For
example, a sandwich contains two servings of bread. We
often prefer white bread, white rice and
white pasta.
These have less fiber leaving us hungry
sooner than we expected, among
other things. |
