One Third of 'Empty Calories' Come from Snacks

One Third of 'Empty Calories' Come from Snacks

As with all food decisions, it is not when you eat but what you eat.  Eating sancks that are high in protein frequently is not a bad thing but eating snacks that do not meet your nutrition goals does not help. Once again, we see that the majority of eaters have a lot of eduction to do on what they eat. When they eat will just be a based upon their hectic schedules and, of course, that is where snacking comes into play.

Common sense on Food Choices - not Food Deserts fault

The artcle linked to below adds some common sense to the story of how we choose food.  Critics would like to blame obesity on Fast Food and lack of healthy choices, yet a California Study points to results that say that we have choices wherever we shop healthy and not so healthy.  Contrary to what critics would have us believe there are unhealthy choices at the supermarket.  The key is to undersatnd our choices and then to act responsibly.
