America. Home of the Brave. We owe so much to those who came before us. We are a lucky nation; a prideful nation. Unfortnately over the years, we’ve also become the most OBESE nation.
Pssst…. I’ll give you a hint as to why…it’s what We The People EAT!
The freedom to eat whatever and whenever we choose.
It’s packaged fake food and portion sizes!
So as you belly-up to your family’s 4th of July BBQ, try and leave a small portion of your plate unfilled. And know that there ARE tasty treats whose first ingredient isn’t processed meat, mayonnaise or Blue Lake Dye #6.
Decide for yourself, what is one thing you can do for your health (and, heck while you’re at it, your country) this 4th? Consider sampling the veggie tray, maybe bring a Berry Bowl or Summer Corn Salad?
I’m not saying you can’t indulge a little: enjoy the fireworks and pig parts, but see if you can sneak in some greens between cold beers. Your body’d think that’d be Yankee-Doodle-Dandy. God Bless America.

Did you know that once they used blue dye for enteral hospital feeds, and patients died. They actually had blue stained organs. Of course, they stopped using blue dye.
I did NOT know that. Crazy. Thx for sharing, and following!
Well, you know I love both rants and good recipes!
