Did You Want Fries With That?


Watching Super Size Me and few years ago made quite an impression on me. I can't help but think about how your health can be effected by the food choices we make.

I also realized that much of food culture has to do with what we see and hear advertised. It IS hard to eat just one chip, of course I want fries with that....

But that was then and this is now...we have options. Here are a few healthy versions of our fave fast or junk foods. Instead of fries...try zucchini fries. Say no to another potato chip...say yes to more parsnip chips. No need to ask "where's the beef?" when you can have a sweet potato and black bean burger.

None of these will taste just like the non-healthy versions you are used to but they will all satisfy your appetite and may help to curb your craving for empty, nutrition-less food. Now you can super size with the healthy variety and feel good about it (but not too much!)

Happy Good Eating!
