5 Worst Eating Habits

From Nubella's website, here are the 5 worst eating habits:

1. Snacking in front of the television - studies have shown that eating in front of the T.V. causes us to eat more that 40% more food than we would naturally eat. The main reason is that you are paying more attention to what you are watching than what you are eating.
2. Using food to feel better - how many times have you gone to the freezer or pantry for that comfort food at the end of a tough day. My favorite comfort food is "Cheeze-Its".
3. Relying on external cues rather than on internal cues - a study conducted by Cornell University's Food Brand Lab found that Americans tend to use an external cue, such as a clean plate, as an indicator to quit eating rather than an internal cue, like feeling full.
4. Favoring fast food - we live in a go-go-go culture. It's so much easier to go through a drive through and pick up dinner than it is to make a sit down dinner at home. I urge you to try to have at least one sit-at-home dinner with the family. What you will find is that your family will get closer, you'll have a few more dollars in your pocket, and you might juse feel a little better
5. Eliminating fat from your diet - we have all fallen into this idea that ALL fat is bad. However, there are types of fat that is good for you - monounsaturated (found in nuts), polyunsaturated (found in corn oil) and omega-3 (found in fish) are all beneficial.

Democrats Have Gone Too Far!!

The Dems have just about guaranteed a loss in the South with their latest decision. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution the Dems have forbidden fired food from the menu during the Democratic national convention to be held in Denver, CO.

You would think that with all this unity talk they would do anything to bring the South back in the fold. The Dems have pretty much abandoned the South when it comes to Presidential politics and this won't help matters any. I mean, how can you sit down with anyone and discuss politics without a glass of ice cold sweet tea and some fired chicken? No fried fish, fired green tomatoes nothing - so much for unity.

Other things they are trying to do with the menu is make it colorful. The guidelines put forth by the DNC is to have at least three of the following colors: red, green, yellow, purple/blue and white. I don't know what they plan on eating but I can't imagine something purple that would even taste good without being fried.
