Although I work all day on a project which helps to promote healthy eating and physical activity, it’s really hard to find time in the day to actually do it! When I get home, I have some delicious cooked food waiting for me. Even though it always tastes great, I know it is not always the best for me.

Give us more restaurants with healthier food!!!





Did you know that the highest percentage of restaurants that are fast-foods are in South Los Angeles? Before blaming anyone for not eating healthy, maybe more resturants that are NOT unhealthy fast-foods should be opended. Less fast foods and more exercise can lead to less obesity (1).

Smoking vs. Obesity

My boss gave me this very interesting and scary article that talks about a recent study which showed that teens are as likely to die of obesity as they are of smoking. (Click here to see article)



What?? I said. As I mentioned to all of you before, obesity is a serious problem that is getting worse every year. Smoking was very bad for many years as well (and still is), but it took a lot of… Continue

How many calories is in that soda? LET'S DO THE MATH!!!

When I lived in San Diego, I used to work for my dad fixing up cars for car shows. It was a pretty fun job and I always liked seeing the end product.

At least twice a day, the guys and I would wash out our own soft drink containers and take them to the convenient store for a fill-up on our sodas.… Continue

Thinking that healthy food is always more expensive than unhealthy food, I braced for the… Continue
