by JJ Virgin The statistics are sobering and staggering. Over 95% of all Americans will become overweight or obese within the next two decades. By 2050, one out of every three Americans will have diabetes. This is the first generation of Americans expected to live shorter lives than their parents.How did this happen? That’s what Fed Up, a recent documentary narrated by Katie Couric, dares to ask. You can now stream... 12/14/2017 8:00:00 AM
by Melanie Potock You’ve finally made the step to introduce your child to that special someone you’ve been dating. Problem is, most dates involve at least a snack, maybe lunch, and God forbid a fancy dinner. If your child is a picky eater, the dinner options narrow down to anything with a kid’s menu, but if the chicken nugget isn’t cooked just so, or the French fries are crinkle-cut and not skinny, or the macaroni and... 12/13/2017 8:00:00 AM

by Brian Bender If it’s one thing the world of nutrition has unfailingly demonstrated over the past few decades, it’s that the typical Western diet is not working.A publication from the New England Journal of Medicine reported that 10% of the planet is now considered obese, and according to the CDC, 40% of U.S. adults and nearly 20% of U.S. children are now obese. And because of well established links between obesity... 12/9/2017 10:00:00 PM
