"For the Health Nut in You. Yeah, You."

Well folks, it was a long but awesome weekend up at the BBQ Championships and Brewfest at the Harpoon Brewery in Windsor, VT. Yours truly almost didn't make it to post today, but I couldn't let another day go by without some new juicy tidbit. I'm almost ready to do my fake eyelash piece, but that will be for Thursday. Today, I think we are overdue for what I call a "culture" bit. Ready?
Bookmark The World's Healthiest Foods. My friend, Jessica, turned me on to this website and boy, what an encyclopedia of fun facts. You can look up any food group and find tons of interesting stuff - not just on nutrition value and percentages, but also on the history of a food, how to choose it and keep it at home, good recipes, etc.. Site features include a Food of the Week, Recipe of the Week, Tips, sample menus, and a food advisor which helps you analyze your nutrient intake and offers suggestions on specifc foods you can add to help round out your diet.
The website is run by a non-profit foundation whose main interest is to help people discover the benefits and joys of healthy eating. The team is made up of various scientists, nutritionists and chefs, who not only try to keep things practical, but also (and importantly) affordable. You can sign up to receive a free weekly e-bulletin, and also submit your own questions and/or favorite recipes.
The next time you need to procrastinate, find a quick and healthy dinner menu, or kill time at the office, look up this site and get to learning.
