Be Informed

Busy schedules, late nights and being just exhausted are all reason's we tend to hit up the closest fast food chain for a quick meal. The growing fast food industry is contributing more than just a "quick" and "cheap" meal for a family. They are also contributing a growing waist line to the majority of American's. Instead of working towards a solution we are making excuses and making accommodations to fit our growing sizes.

According to the CDC approximately one-third of adults are obese and 17% of children and young adults ranging 2-19 are obese. In 2010 no state had an obesity prevalence of  less than 20%.

People often tell me when it comes to eating "healthy" that it is just too expensive. Well, it's no secret that the price tag on healthy foods (ie) produce, lean organic meats, etc. are higher than that of the unhealthy food choices at the store. However, the overall cost during a person's lifetime is indeed less expensive! What many American's are not factoring into this quick on the go, eat in the car, cheap, fattening meal is the lifetime doctor and medical expenses that come with it. If you don't believe me here is the fact: According to the CDC the medical care cost of obesity in 2009 was totaled at $147 billion!

This doesn't even take into account the indirect cost such as higher airlines prices because the amount of fuel to transport heavier loads and the added cost obese have to spend on gas themselves to transport the heavier load.

There are solutions to this growing epidemic but it start's with you. It's starts with the individual. It's your responsibility to become educated, to learn and to research.

 "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge..." - Hosea 4:6. 

Take the time to become informed about what you are eating, what you are buying before you do so. Keep posted to learn what ingredients to avoid, what to look for and the best way to "shop" your grocery store for the healthiest food!

Dinner at Home

Sorry friends it's been too long!! I promise we will be getting to the breakdown of food groups during our next post!!

I'm not sure about you but I find myself often standing in my kitchen flipping through pages of cookbooks to get a new recipe for supper! We get tired of the staple meals around here!! So I thought I would share tonight's supper with you in case you need some cooking inspiration!

Tonight's meal:
Tuna Steak with lemon red potatoes (thanks to pinterest) and green beans!! Yummy!

To start I marinaded the tuna steak in soy sauce (gluten free), sesame oil, ginger and garlic. Then cook about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

For the potatoes I used this recipe Roasted Red potatoes with Lemon! Delicious! The lemon gave it a little something extra! I had to cook them for about 40 minutes unlike the recipe said!! So plan a little extra time in case! Oh and I didn't have dill so I used Sage and added a quarter of an onion!

Green Beans: I baked on 450 until they were tender! I like mine a little extra tender and a little less crunch crunch so I baked them a little longer...I sliced up a quarter on an onion and sprinkled them with extra virgin olive oil!

So there you have it...dinner with the Poe's! Hope that helps you have some healthy inspiration for a yummy at home supper!!
