America the Large

By Mike Arman

A gentle discussion of why so many of us are overweight (or worse), of the constant pressures on us to eat more anyway, and the simple things we can do about it to get our food consumption under control.

Why we eat too much, the social and commercial pressures to eat more of what we know isn't good for us, our hectic schedules and the conflict with proper nutrition. How did we get here? How can we get control of what we eat and how much we eat? Quick and easy rules of thumb to determine food value (or the lack of same) at restaurants and grocery stores. Stress-free and inexpensive ways to eat better, lose weight, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, reduce the chances for strokes and heart attacks, and live longer. (No, it won't grow hair on your head, that's not what this is about.)

No ranting or raving, just a fresh look at the realities of the "food business" in America, and how bad it is for us, and what we can do about it for ourselves.
