dietary guidelines meet NOVA: developing a menu for a healthy dietary pattern using ultra-processed foods

 

This (industry funded) study is an example of lobbying at its best. But in case you had any doubts as to whose bribing whom, let this recent study be a reminder that the USDA is in cahoots with processed food companies and manufacturers. Limiting your consumption of ultra processed foods is good for your health but bad for food manufacturer's bottom line. When in doubt, ask yourself: who benefits from this headline?

I just started listening to this one on audible so don't have too much to report yet but right off the bat, I'm very hip on the idea of giving some responsibility over to God. I'm exhausted and overwhelmed, so I'm grateful for the opportunity to delegate a little. You know? 

turn it over to god

 

This easy breezy summer side salad is exactly that: simple, satisfying and sure to please. It's also a great jumping off point so don't hold back if you want to add a grain, vegetables or lean protein.
