Do You Care About Nutrition Information?
A couple of days ago California passed a law that requires chain restaurants to post nutrition facts. I think this is a great idea, but honestly I rarely check out nutrition information because I avoid processed and fast foods. However, I was wondering about you?

I panic every time I see another "exercise doesn't work!" story — until I read between the lines and learn once again that exercise is a good thing.

Fittingly Mad: No Nutrition Labels on Grandma's Apple Pie
Thanksgiving is an awesome time, so don't think I'm being a Debbie Downer here. Sitting down to that enormous dinner on Thursday night just got me thinking about family meals and how hard it is to know what you're eating.

Do You Read Food Labels?
The discussion about whether or not soy sauce is actually soy sauce made me wonder about food labels in general and whether or not people actually read them.

How about you?

A diet rich in this type of fat has been found to reduce abdominal fat better than a diet high in carbs — even without exercise.

California Will Require Chains to Post Nutritional Facts
Will diners consider their health before ordering a super-sized hamburger value meal? California legislators are betting on it: Last night, the state became the first to require restaurant chains to post nutritional information for their menu items.
