With all the obesity and eating disorders going on, it seems like maybe we’re not educated about nutrition and exercise enough to eat healthy .I know for a fact that they didn’t teach us squat about nutrition or weight loss in public school, which is in my opinion a major concern.
But we already have good, healthy food that you can grow in your backyard : fruit and veggies
Thanks, I didn’t know about Michelle Obama!! That is an awesome thing she is doing.

I think it’s the FDA’s and parents’ fault, really. They try to get schools to serve healthier lunches (which, by many standards, are still not very healthy.) Additionally, excessive attention is paid to Calories, while very little is paid to what TYPE of Calories are being consumed (i.e. protein, carbohydrates, fats).

The harm of fat is also grossly overestimated, and importance of avoiding simple carbs hardly mentioned at all (most people don’t know that sugars are simple carbs, let alone that many of their favorite non-sugary foods also contain simple carbs).

I asked my school why we can’t be served whole milk, considering that fat-free milk contains as much as 10 more grams (roughly 2.5 teaspoons) more sugar than whole milk. They said that they have no control over what they feed us.

The other day, we had a school-wide (girls and boys separated) assembly (I’m a senior in high school), where we were handed a tiny flyer telling us how to "eat healthily." It involved a number of moronic comments, including living a low-fat lifestyle with NO MENTION of sugar.

I admit that not everyone has the capacity or desire to understand how their bodies function, but everyone should at least be given the opportunity. Even health classes don’t give any justice to a truly proper diet. They make it sound as if you can eat as much of your favorite desert as you’d like, as long as you get your servings of fruits and vegetables, and DON’T EXCEED 2,000 CALORIES.

I can say for a fact that my base metabolic rate is around 2,500 Calories, and that is just the amount I need to SURVIVE with zero exercise while maintaining the same weight.

With the amount of exercise I do (1 hour a day, roughly), I need at least 3,000 Calories a day. Factor in my desire to gain muscle, and I need to eat as much as 4,000 Calories a day.

Education does nothing for people that have not opened themselves up to learning. People need to have a desire to read about it, learn about it, and change their lifestyles.

A large part of it is also parents and how they feed their children. I know kids who have been raised on hamburgers and cheap food, who now think that they can eat McDonalds for the rest of their lives because they haven’t gotten pudgy at the age of 17 or 18.

I also know kids who claim that cigarettes increase their metabolisms to the extent that they can eat significantly more. I think much hope is lost, and we’d frankly be better off with many of these idiots dying. If someone doesn’t respect his or her body to that great of a degree, I doubt the person’s capacity of respecting anyone else.

To finish off on a completely misanthropic and cynical note, some people really should not breath.

Im trying to find a distributor that specializes in selling appliances such as bathtubs, stove tops, etc for assisted living (senior homes). If anyone has any info for me it would be greatly appreciated.
note: I dont need it for myself. Im a realtor and im trying to convert a building.

You should be able to get information from a home health care provider on how to get assistance from the government and be able to get appliances, etc. free or for little money. If you call a home health care company, you can just get the informaiton to the goverment offices that help with this sort of thing. My neighbor did this and got a new fridge free because her social security wouldn’t cover it but she was able to get what she needed for free. Good Luck.

I’m considering moving into a barebones, student style studio in Manhattan while doing a grad program. I’ve found some great deals, but none include real kitchens. They just have a sink, some counter space, and a fridge/mini-fridge. Other than a toaster oven, microwave, and Forman Grill, what sorts of smaller kitchen appliances would allow for the greatest variety, but take up the smallest amount of space.

electric hotplate 2 burner
toaster
can opener

skip the grill unless you have a balconey it uses too much space.

How does the lack of nutrition labels on fast foods and restaurant menus affect the African-American community SPECIFICALLY?

What questions do you have about obesity and African Americans?

Hello. Most fast food restaurants have their nutritional information available on the Web. But the time to look it up, the interest in doing it and the access to a computer would all be issues…

The real question is why don’t more families cook…food expense has a lot to do with it but buying fast food is actually more expensive, even if you buy the Williams 8 piece dark or McDonald’s chicken nuggets all the time….

Another issue is simply knowing how to cook and teaching your children to like cooked food.

Interestingly enough, this is becoming a problem all over the developed world, and not just with Black people. Even Japanese mothers have trouble somtimes keeping their kids away from the fast food….

People need to grow some food and herbs, cook, and eat what they cook….

This would help obesity issues, immensely. Oh and being active and making exercise a PRIORITY, the way Mrs. Obama and my family do…

Bread makers are great until you realize you end up with a loaf of bread that has a giant hole going through it. Blenders- usually stop using those cause the drinks are too complicated for first thing in the morning and at night it is easier to crack open a beer. and the juicer- so help me- the person who invented those should be sitting next to Paris Hilton in jail- they are the biggest pain to clean that screen. I can’t even GIVE mine away.
Oh and the bread- everyone realized they gained 20 pounds from eating the stuff- big reason to not use anymore.

From GNC, to Megaplex, to Animal there are soo many nutrition suppliers which one is the leader and most used among professional body builders?

It really doesnt matter where you get it, just what you’re getting. Most of the products are the same, just vary slightly in ingredients. Optimum Nutrition’s whey protein has always been on the top of the bodybuilding supplement list, and for obvious reasons. I ordered myself a 5lb tub of it and it was the best I ever had. They introduced it into the market first after all. For creatine, Higher Power is ranked #1. NO Shotgun still reigns supreme for Nitric Oxide. GNC, DPS Nutrition, even Sams Club carries bodybuilding products.

Will you lose the fiber by juicing?

I would like to buy JACK LALANNE’S POWER JUICER, but don’t want to if I’m going to sacrifice nutrician. Anybody know anything about this?

I would just eat the fruit, juicers separate the solids from the juice. Like if you want carrot juice, you probably need 5 lbs of carrots to get a glass of juice.

And not only that, you have to clean the damn thing after every use.

Remember a long time ago, Everyone bought food processors….They are never used by the people who bought them, cause it took far longer to clean them than to just cut up the stuff by hand.

Eat fruit, & veggies, Buy juice for drinking, Don’t buy the machine.

I like the stainless steel look, but I’m cheap and don’t want to buy all new appliances. Is there any kind of paint or laminate or something that can make my white appliances look like stainless steel?
Sandy: If you could look it up for me, that’d be great!

They sell sheets of stainless steel to put up on appliances for the look of a new stainless steel appliance. I think they are either peel and stick, or magnetic. (I think magnetic) look at the appliance store for them. I also saw them in my magazines, but I can’t remember which one.I’ll look and send you the information if you would like. Bye
