2008-02-27 Snacking: is it a culprit in your diet - Fitness and Wellbeing - Looking Good, Feeling Great

Secondly, try to keep healthy snacks or diet snacks at hand. Youre not always going to be at home when you suddenly crave a snack - which means the desire for unhealthy fast-food or empty-calorie snacks can loom in fast. But keeping a low-fat granola bar or a small bag of wholegrain pretzels in your bag can be your saving grace when it comes to dodging an unhealthy snacking binge. You can even extend this practice to your work environment. If all those cookies and biscuits around the office tend to get the better of you, try taking in a supply of fruit, whole-grain crackers, nuts or yogurt. Keep these at work and reach for them - rather than the cookies - when you need a snack.

2008-02-15 The Free Liberal: The Ultimate Gateway Drug

This is not a call for abstention or Spartan lifestyles, however. This is a manifesto for increasing overall pleasure. Real food, lightly processed, has its own pleasures: subtle tastes, calm alertness, inner tranquility, and improved health. On top of this foundation we can derive real pleasures from moderate drug use. A single glass of wine in the evening provides a sufficient buzz if you are relaxed to start with. A single cup of coffee provides rocket power if you have been caffeine free for several days. A couple of fresh homemade chocolate chip cookieswith real sugar, butter and vanillaprovide more pleasure than an entire bag of store bought cookies.

Your claim to care about food safety is terrifying double-speak given what Bill did and who you take donations from. Your idea of a Department of Food Safety would centralize control of food - in whose corporate connected hands You talk tough about labeling food - ah, but "foreign" food - a sleight of hand tricking a public desperate for safe US food. You talk about food safety but Bill degraded food in every imaginable way and prevented minimally sane labeling.
