Buffet Survival
A lot of news related to food and fat today.
A new study finds it’s better for your long-term health to be fat and fit than to be skinny and unfit. In other words, skinny isn’t necessarily all that! You can be considered fat and still be in good health.
A food expert tells a CNN reporter that there are ways to negotiate the holiday buffet and not end up with a bigger booty! Drink water, eat slowly so your brain can catch up to the fact that your tummy is full. They also suggest doing a lot of walking and I suspect that means more than just circling the food table!
And the provincial government is making a move today to ban foods with trans fats from school cafeterias and start the long and probably painful process of taking junk food out of high schools.
It’s the holidays, you have to have some fun! Everything in moderation, right? A little chocolate, a few carrot sticks, some prime rib and a thin slice of cheesecake sound about right to me.

One earlier joke tells that someone dropped a box of chocolate at front desk and left a card, saying “Tasting it makes you happy; happiness makes you healthy” Other words - Refusing the the goodness of the life may not make a happy life.
