http://www.menshealth.com/cda/articl...h&channel=nutr... This list is something like the 100 best places to live list. Whether you agree or not has to do with the criteria they use, which is often only personal choice. Some of the best cities criteria is a professional sports team and mass transportation. Really, I personally would not care about either one of these. Other criteria like crime per population seem much more important. Even the availablility of jobs though seems a bit unimportant unless you are looking for work. If your work brings you to the city, heck, you aleady have a job. Actually, I would not want to live in any of their recommendations because they are all too large. With food, it is kind of the same thing. If you are underweight, the high caloric content might be a plus. The list does work for me since I eat almost none of the 20, but I am very weight and health conscious. Far as I know, the only healthy food McD's sells is their side salad and it is often pretty old looking with shrivelled up tomatoes. Talk about calories, Subway sells a 12-inch meatball sandwich that is absolutley loaded with calories and fat. Of course they sell a couple of healthier alternatives, so I'll cut them a little slack. McD or BurgerKing and that ilk though, seem to offer very little but high-fat, high caloric food. Far as I know, there isn't anyone out there recommending lots of cholesterol in your diet, and that is a big part of fast food...even pizza with all that cheese. When someone does occasionally defend pizza, they show a small slice of vegetarian pizza on whole wheat crust. Where the heck you find something like that is beyond me. dkw |

Where the heck you find something like that is beyond me. dkw Actually any non-chain progressive pizza place will offer you organic whole-what pizza. Sounds good, but we are a city of 50,000 and we don't have any such place here. We have about 75 Mexican restaurants, 5 McDonalds and many other pizza franchises though, all serving essentially the same thing. This is not a very health-conscious town on the whole, but I just work around that. I go to Cicis and Gattis pizza restaurants and McDs but never eat anything but their salads which are pretty good. Often I am the only one there within what appears to be a healthy weight range. Now you go just a few miles farther north into Austin and the populace seems to thin down a tad. That may be demographics based on economics or something like that though. Bet they have whole-wheat pizza in Austin. dkw |

Everything there is unhealthy mostly because of portions. Our views
are soooo distorted anymore. My grandma told me that when the big mac came out it was supposed to be this HUGE manly-type sandwich. Want to know how many my male friend can put away in one sitting? Three, plus a large fries and probably more than a liter of soda with all the refills he gets. We are distorted about our own bodies too. I am a couple pounds overweight and I get called "thin." It's insanity. |

We are distorted about our own bodies too. I am a couple pounds overweight and I get called "thin." It's insanity. Exactly. Many people call me thin, yet I am within my medical range for weight...136 lbs at 5'8". Of course Americans think most of Asia is underweight. Overweight becomes relative apparently, which can lead to an acceptance and the condition becomes normal. To ancients who had to really work for food, we would all look plump probably. Restaurants serve what people want and many people crave large portions, high-fat, high-salt, high-sugar foods. Cheap and fast helps them complete the "service". People just need to realize that their bodies lie to them. They are told by nature to seek out lots of calories and high fat because eating quick and large is a survival instinct even though we don't need it any more. Understanding there is often no good correlation between food desires and food needs is the first step. Often, those people who live to eat will need to find a different preoccupation to try and direct their interests elsewhere, but it is obviously very difficult for many people. dkw |
