What to fix for dinner?
For many of us, that’s the question of the day – every day! Most people don’t have the time, energy or maybe even the skills to cook from scratch every day. So, what are your alternatives? For some, the solution is to swing by the pizza palace, the local burger joint, the Chinese takeout restaurant, or the frozen foods section in the local market.

I saw the comic below and had to laugh out loud! Sometimes we forget that just because the restaurant says “all you can eat,” it doesn’t mean you have to eat until you’re stuffed!

I’ve written in previous posts about the idea of adding a “fat tax” to foods high in fat, sodium or sugar as a way to reduce consumption. Similar taxes have been used quite successfully in some European countries and voters favor trying this approach in some states.

They cite one recent study that suggests that it may take as much as a 10 percent increase in the cost … Read the rest
Nearly 3 out of 5 California voters support a special fee (also known as a tax) on soft drinks to help fight childhood obesity! That’s the finding of a new survey of 1,000 likely voters.
In a previous post, we talked about a wellness expert in Australia that was proposing a tax on high-fat foods to help combat the obesity trend in that country. Now, it seems that, in California at least, voters are willing to back similar proposals.
