Food For Thought – The Meat Production Process Is So Wasteful And Costly
One portion of meat contains only 20 grams of protein, whereas a typical 100-gram portion of beans yields 35 grams of protein. The meat, however, costs about 20 times more than the beans do. Being a vegetarian saves not only lives, but also money. The food energy supplied by meat production uses 10 times more fossil fuel than the food energy supplied by plant production. Given the current shortage of fossil fuels on the planet, meat production may soon become unaffordable.
Healthy Snack Foods: That’s Not an OxymoronPlanning to meet the between-meal munchies can–and should!–be a part of your commitment to healthful eating. But don’t think “healthful” and “satisfying” can’t go together. Here are a few tasty, simple snack ideas that won’t compromise your nutrition and caloric goals.
Vegetarians Live Longer and Healthier LivesMedical research has found that a properly balanced vegetarian diet may, in fact, be the healthiest diet. Those who include less meat in their diet also have fewer problems with cholesterol. The American National Institute of Health, in a study of 50,000 vegetarians, found that the vegetarians live longer and also have an impressively lower incidence of heart disease and a significantly lower rate of cancer than meat-eating Americans.
Make Half Your Plate Fruits And VegetablesThe USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture), American Heart Association, and American Cancer Society all stress the importance of eating fruits and vegetables as part of a healthy diet. It’s been recommended that adults eat 7-13 servings of fresh, raw fruits and vegetables every day.
Improve Your Health by Not Drinking Too Much While You EatI learned this tip from my wife, who discovered it while working with a naturopathic doctor many years ago. When most people eat, they typically have a glass of water, iced tea, juice, soda or wine with their food. A big reason why people do this (although they are not aware of it) is to wash down the chunks of food they aren’t properly chewing.
Brown Bag Your Lunch: Eating Healthily at WorkOne of the biggest challenges in staying healthy is the need to sit in an office all day, five days a week. Most of the time you don’t really realize what it is that you are eating. Packing your lunch the night before and putting it in your work bag is a great way to help with this.

How to Get Your Kids to Eat Healthy FoodAlways remember that healthy food for children consists of a variety of food combinations from the four major food groups. As long as you are able to strike a balance with all the food groups – dairy, meat protein, fruits, vegetables, and grains – you’re all set. Here are some useful tips to get you started.
Vegetable Juice Recipes – An Unlimited Combination Of Fantastic FlavorsPeople do not buy store-bought juice because it tastes better, because it does not; many people consider store-bought juice to taste artificial. People do not buy store-bought juice because it is a healthier alternative; a lot of store-bought juice contain quite a bit of sugar and added preservatives. One of the main reasons that people do not juice for themselves is because they do not have vegetable juice recipes that are easy to use.
Fish, Fish Oil, and Omega-3 in the KitchenClinical trials continue to find that a balanced diet that is rich with whole grains, vegetables, legumes, fruits, and omega-3 fatty acids will do more to promote healthy skin than any treatment on the market today. This very same diet will provide antioxidants that prevent the development of free radicals which are the precursors to many different types of cancer. The Life Extension Foundation continues to promote the balance between Omega-6 fatty acids and Omega-3 fatty acids.
