How To Make The Best Food Choices
The saying goes, “You are what you eat,” but deciding what to eat and making the best food choices are not always so simple. Economic circumstances, where you live, and simple factors like what’s available in local food stores all play a role. Our series on obesity continues this week with a focus on the importance of diet and nutrition. Tony Cox speaks with Kathy Yadrick — professor and chair of the Department of Nutrition and Food Systems at the University of Southern Mississippi — and Constance Brown-Riggs, national spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association, a registered dietitian, and author of Eating Soulfully and Healthfully with Diabetes.
Plus, TheRoot.com’s blogger on books — Felicia Pride — has some thoughts on the book offerings out on the market. She also explains how the price war between Amazon.com and Wal-Mart both helps your pocketbook and hurts the book industry.
