They May Be Right – A Healthy Rant

I am in the middle of adding a bunch of Diabetic Healthy meals and recipes to my site: emealsforyou.com. This requires lots of research and as it turns out a little soul searching as well. As we age we find we begin to eat a little less than when we were in our teens and twenties, devouring everything in sight. The only problem with the high caloric intake is that back then we were constantly on the go with continual physical activity. Now we tend to watch a little more tv and exercise a little less. My patron saint of cooking, Julia Child, used to say, “everything in moderation.” Problem is if you are like me the moderation was in the exercise and not in the feeding frenzy.
Bottom line here is buy smaller and leaner and you may be exactly that soon.
