Food courts are a popular place for an express lunch, snack or coffee while people are out and about enjoying their shopping experience. Unfortunately, there is an overabundance of people lining up in front of stores that feature the deep fried, fatty, salty, sugary foods that are lacking in nutritional content. Yet it seems that many folk are so accustomed to these popularised and socially acceptable food choices that they don’t really give it an extra thought.
Reflecting back on Jamie Oliver’s ‘Food Revolution USA’ TV show, it is clear how devastating that the consumption of processed, fast foods and a lack of nutritional understanding has had upon our western culture.
As Jamie showed up at an American elementary school, he was exposed to the kinds of foods that these kids eat on a daily basis; processed meats, processed cheese, processed potato, pizza for breakfast, flavored milk, and the junk food list goes on. What’s worse is that the kids were going home at night to be served more of the same processed, deep fried foods, compliments of their parents.
Fitness and weight loss are areas of study that are so riddled with conflicting viewpoints, it's a wonder how anybody can make a clear decision about what's going to work for them. There are radical diets, conventional diets, no-carb, low-carb, slow-carb, vegetarian, meat-o-saurus, and everything in between! What makes it harder when researching online is the never ending list of websites that are promoting (with their own bias) their particular take on the magic bullet of peak fitness and weight loss. It's all rather confusing isn't it? Well folks, today we don't have any particular view to sell you, but we are going to lay down some common sense principles on the table, and leave it up to you to experiment and decide what works for you. I've sat down and interviewed co-writer Michael Brown (The Arnold Schwarzenneger of wisdom) who happens to be a qualified personal trainer and long-time researcher into the health and fitness.
