The current People Magazine is all about losing weight, diets, and what people really eat. It was the "What You REALLY Eat!" that caught my eye...100 people (73 women, 27 men) were asked to keep a food journal for 4 days. Then the journals went to a team of dieticians and a nutrition expert for analysis. The results were shocking....and, in my humble opinion, probably representative of the majority of Americans.
95% do not get enough dairy.
93% do not get enough whole grain.
92% do not get enough vegetables.
86% do not get enough fruits.
67% ate no fish.
Recommendations:
Limit fast food meals to one a week.
You really can't eat too many vegetables.
A person tends to consume about 600 calories less a day by eating 6 small meals as opposed to 2 meals.
Women need about 800 calories less a day than men, but men need to eat more fiber.

Oooooh, I like your "Visitors" counting roll... how did you do that? I find I'm always tweaking the Manhattan to Cowtown layout... want it to be just perfect!
p.s. Little Molly is coming early! Riley's little girl is now due on the 19th. I'll have to run up to Oklahoma and take some fab photos. :)
