		<description><![CDATA[From the CDC.gov (emphasis mine) Childhood obesity has more than tripled in the past 30 years. The percentage of children aged 6–11 years in the United States who were obese increased from 7% in 1980 to nearly 20% in 2008. Similarly, the percentage of adolescents aged 12–19 years who were obese increased from 5% to 18% over the same period. In 2008, more than one third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese. Overweight is defined as having excess body [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Snacks. You know you love them. As a kid you get snacks as treats. As an adult you take breaks for snacks. And if you&#8217;re an average American, 30% of your calories come from snacks, and are EMPTY OF NUTRITION. The Agricultural Research Service is a major research arm of the USDA and conducts ongoing surveys of national eating habits. Recent analysis revealed that both men and women consumer around one third of their calories from food with no nutritional [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, technically all living things are food addicts; no food = no life. And at some point, I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ve all had cravings for something. But is there a food that haunts you? Is there a food you crave on a daily basis? What about a food that if you try to avoid it, you think about it even MORE? You&#8217;re not alone.  You might not even be to blame, kind of. Blame your brain and biochemistry. More and more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Brunch just might be my favorite meal. I will look for any excuse to throw a brunch get together at my house. But it&#8217;s easy for baked brunch goods to get really sweet and sugary. So this last weekend I opted for some lighter fare. The raspberry-basil sauce was the inspiration for the dish. I was eating raspberries, and looking at basil, then thought, &#8220;These would taste really good together. What can I put this on top of?&#8221; And even [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Whole Grains&#8221; is one of the very popular buzzwords in food and health today. It&#8217;s no surprise then that the Food Industry is jumping on the bandwagon and advertising whole grains in many products. The Center for Science in the Public Interest has an excellent guide on whole grains and recently got press coverage exposing the problems with labeling of whole grains. Here&#8217;s a picture from a friend of mine, one of the rare honest labels out there: Here are quick [...]]]></description>

Weekly exercise. EXERCISE. Chocolate. Ice cream.  You get the point. How many times have you sworn to yourself that you will do/not do something&#8230;.then it happens anyway? What happens next? For many of us it&#8217;s GUILT. Such an ugly word. And an ugly feeling. There are times where guilt is appropriate, particularly if you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love quinoa. There, I&#8217;ve said it. Back in St. Louis my friends called me the Quinoa Queen because I introduced EVERYBODY to my favorite little seed. Yes, quinoa is a seed. It looks like a grain and acts like a grain, but is actually the seed of a grass like plant from South America. It&#8217;s a nutritional powerhouse, loaded with magnesium, folate, phosphorous, maganese AND (as a rarity in the plant kingdom) is a complete protein (that means it [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;d much rather see an article talking about CHANGING the SAD diet, as opposed to supplementing to offset bad choices. More and more bandaids will not eliminate the problem. Want to lose weight? Trade sugary drinks for water &#8211; I&#8217;m amused that some organization FUNDED this research! One nice thing that came out [...]]]></description>
