Book Cover & Preview Text
I would always start my class by saying, “This is one of the most important classes you will ever take.” Now, I know that sounds a bit self-serving, but here’s the reasoning. We all have to deal with food every day. Not now and then or every week, but every day. Your first decision in the morning is what to eat, should I eat, or do I have time to eat. This is followed by decisions about lunch, dinner and snacks throughout the day. Then there’s grocery shopping, choosing restaurants, fast foods, television ads, diet books, talk shows on food, food channels, on cooking, etc. We all deal with food daily, and we will until the day we die. I think that if you are going to be that involved with something, you should understand it well. Food must be important for us to have to deal with it so often. The problem is that most of us don’t deal with it very well. Most of us make poor choices; not because we don’t care. We just don’t always know or make the good choices.
Most food choices are made by taste and learned behavior. If it tastes good and we are taught to eat it, that’s what we eat, and we usually do so until we’re full. I want you to start thinking about what you eat and why you eat it. After you finish reading this book, you will also know what’s best to eat. Your selection of food choices has a tremendous effect on your overall health and well-being. It is important to understand this process.
Although many people like and enjoy healthful foods, we are now at a point where unhealthful choices are becoming more popular. In our society, obesity is at epidemic proportions. One in every three adults is obese. Two of three Americans are overweight, as are a high proportion of children. Chronic disease is commonplace. The food choices you make and the amount of exercise you do are the two most important lifestyle factors that affect these trends. It's important that you take control of these lifestyle factors.
