Eat Fresher
When you’re out running around on a crazy busy day and you find yourself suddenly famished and needing to eat right now, there just aren’t many good options, especially if you’re trying to avoid meat and processed foods. Like many people, Subway has turned into my go-to in such situations, and I’m exactly the kind… Read more »
He Likes It, Hey Mikey!
I’m not much of a picky eater. When it comes to food, I’m a pretty reliable opportunist, and there’s not much that I won’t eat. That said, we all do have our preferences. I can count the foods I dislike on one hand, and there are only two things that I absolutely won’t touch: blue… Read more »

Since juice contains most of the vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients found in whole produce — minus all the bulky fiber that has to be digested — the theory is that… Read more »

Eat Less Meat
Well, we made it through the holidays. The New Year is here and with it another year of possibilities. It seems that for the last few years there has been a resounding unhappiness with the results of the recent years gone by. “Hopefully 20XX will be better than last year!”, I see on the majority… Read more »
