UFood Grill Offers Up Healthy Food!

January 11th, 2010

 

MTV Networks Upfront - Arrivals

 

I’ve been watching this penny stock for months now- apparently the economy has slowed the expansion plans of this new restaurant.

What you can expect from UFood:

  • We bake, we grill, we steam. We never fry – ever
  • Natural and organic ingredients whenever possible
  • Whole-grain brown rice and breads
  • Lite dressings and lower-fat cheeses
  • No added trans fats ever
  • Lots of vegetarian items that are tasty enough for meat eaters too
  • Food that is easily customizable to meet individual tastes and dietary needs   -Ufood Grill

They’ve signed George Foreman as a spokesperson so I don’t see how they can fail.  I wish we could get one on a military base!

Eat to Live Long

October 1st, 2009

GREAT FALLS, Mont. — So what does the world’s oldest man eat? The answer is not much, at least not too much.
Walter Breuning, who turned 113 on Monday, eats just two meals a day and has done so for the past 35 years.

“I think you should push back from the table when you’re still hungry,” Breuning said. -usatoday

MY COMMENT: Who knows, but my theory is the key to longevity is eat to meet but not exceed your energy demands. In other words, if you exercise a substantial amount, it would be ok to bump up your calorie intake and eat some dinner! I also advocate “grazing” on healthy snacks to keep your blood glucose stable and appetite in check.

Food, Inc.

June 13th, 2009

In “Food, Inc.,” filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation’s food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that’s been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government’s regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation’s food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment.

This film is now showing in select theaters. Go here for info.
