Live to be an old fart

I have a poster with this quote and a picture of a kidney bean plastered right up on my fridge. It was made by magicalfruit.org and I love it! Beans are a terrific source of protein and fiber, so if you are cooking for any vegetarians this summer, make some bean salads, bean salsa, and bean burritos and they will not be complaining of hunger! (although maybe of something else… see the title quote…)

Shakes, shakes, and MORE shakes!

Butter. No, margarine.  No wait, butter.  Protein.  Atkin's.  Lycopene. Carbs.  Vitamin E.  Iron.  Trans fat.  Soluble Fiber.  Unsoluble Fiber.  St. John's Wart.  Ginko.  Stevia.  Splenda.  Organic.  Free Range.  BMI.  Energy drinks.  Shakes.  Shakes.  More shakes.  Oh yes… MORE shakes.

I've got it all straight, of course.  All worked out.  I am the "expert".  Except, oh wait…  today there is another study with another conclusion with another great product to sell. 

None of us know it all; but because this is my career, I have more time to spend sifting through the information than the average over-worked and under-played American.

So I'm just gonna write here.  And if sombody has a question about weight loss or nutrition that you'd like to throw my way, I'd be up for it!
