Food News: Less is More

The New York Times magazine section yesterday (10/11/2009) was devoted to my favorite topic -- food! Check out the article on Jamie Oliver who is going to try to turn the citizens of Huntington, West Virginia into a bunch of pint-sized peeps instead of the supersized civilians they currently are; Huntington has the dubious distinction of being America's most obese city.

A harder article to read -- at least for someone who really likes to eat -- is the one on the health benefits of a calorie restricted diet. In an interesting study, people are eating approximately 20% fewer calories than they need on a daily basis and they are aging more slowly!

It is an interesting and thought-provoking read.
