Health, well being, and good eats:

– The new food pyramid. Do I believe it’s excellent? No. I believe there are lots of people who find themselves unable to tolerate or digest giant quantities of animal merchandise and dairy. I’m undecided the place beans are situated on the pyramid and it’s lacking the nuance in relation to saturated fats. On the similar time, I believe it’s an enormous step in the precise course. I really like the emphasis on complete, unprocessed meals, a number of fruits and veggies, and a reasonable method to grains (particularly right here within the US the place many our grains have been compromised).

And whereas I don’t assume that refined sugar and processed meals ought to be part of day by day life, we sitll make room for the enjoyable stuff each every now and then (see beneath lol).
