Yeah, I know. Only about 0.5% of the American population is vegan, so I didn't think I was going to do any mass conversions here :) Just trying to spread a little helpful info. A great book is "The Engine 2 Diet". I recommend that one.
The truth as I find it and what seems apparent from studies...
Home cooking IS the answer.
I can’t give you a link off the top of my head but if you complain too much I will find it for ya. :P
They studied schools who had all sorts of junk food available and those who went MEchelle Obama healthy.
The schools with junk food fared better and had LESS fat kids.
I DO believe there are so many who can no longer cook and that is part of the problem.
The other part is that we allow these non-cookers to live off pre-prepared stuff.
Anyhoo.... :)
I will look at the Engine2 diet. Thanks.
I do absolutely swear by Weight Watchers online. It makes everything points and even having a burger out is OK.
Everything is points—how do you want to spend them.
Exercise counts for points, too—even points for mowing the lawn. OoohRah!
