		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, Jen, a teacher friend of mine posted a photo to her Facebook wall depicting four cartons of milk from her school’s lunch room, and the incredulous comments began to fly. It seems that Jen has been working with her class on healthy eating, and she had a real big problem with the fact that not only was chocolate milk offered, so too were strawberry and coffee (a regional favorite) varieties. According to her, these items were offered to increase the chance that the kids would take a milk at lunch, and the sugar levels contained within them--27 grams per 8 oz. in the coffee one!--was, in essence, irrelevant. Well geez, that’s an interesting way to look at it, considering the sugar content is equivalent to a can of Red Bull. In fact, eating two standard Reese’s cups will actually save you almost two teaspoons of sugar over the flavored milk.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems that everyone—including government, the private sector and consumers—has finally woken up to the healthcare crisis facing our country. As we are all now painfully aware, healthcare costs are spiraling out of control due to many factors, but certainly in large measure because of the worsening health status of the average American.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People often ask for me for guidance on how to spot gluten-free foods that are good (better or best!) for them. For some, the transition to gluten-free foods feels like a move toward foods that are more processed or less healthful. I am quick to highlight the many fresh and naturally gluten-free foods that our found throughout the produce, meat, seafood and dairy departments. Shop in these departments and you are likely to find many healthful items. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cheese, tortillas and a piquant sauce: I defy anyone to find fault in that combination. Enchiladas, traditionally comprised of seasoned meat or seafood, shredded cheese and baked in the oven in a tomato or tomatillo-based sauce has always been my favorite Tex-Mex dish, but its calorie and fat-laden composition limits its role in my diet to an occasional treat. I’ve often wondered how I could alter the recipe to my advantage, allowing me to eat more of what I like without knocking me out of my current dress size.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have many reasons to manage stress, quit smoking and eat a better diet--reducing our blood pressure is just one of them. Unless you are checking your blood pressure regularly, you may not even know that it is rising. Over time, our blood pressure can creep higher and higher--possibly without any symptoms--until it is chronically elevated, which we refer to as hypertension.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in the eighties, INXS was a pretty cool band, right in the middle of the MTV explosion; they were right on target, maybe too much so: "Don’t change for you, don’t change a thing for me…" This band’s moniker, looking back, seems to identify the theme of the present also. Maybe the timing of their success can be looked at as a turning point, or maybe a tipping point in the success of the conscious-less profits of over portioning. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[April is National Soyfoods Month. If you’ve avoided soy in the past from fear of tofurkey-gone-awry, it’s time to reconsider. Soy is a complete protein, which means that it also contains the enzymes people need to properly digest the protein. In addition, soy is a rich source of vitamins C and A, among a variety of important micronutrients. What’s more, soy comes in a wide variety of forms, so you’re sure to find a way to enjoy this valuable source of nutrition.]]></description>
