Back sometime around the first of the year, I blogged about starting to eat healthier. And generally, I do. I don't think I get my FIVE daily servings of fruits and veggies every day, but I get close enough to feel fine about my consumption. And I've definitely reduced the amount of fat and sugar and salt - (but I was doing that before, so can I count that as an improvement in my diet)?? Anyway, I'm feeling pretty good, and as I approach Middle Age (curses be upon it, ack-phtooie) I'm still managing to keep my weight at a constant level. Now of course the holidays are right around the corner - What? Yeah I know it's three months away, but have you been to Hobby Lobby recently? - anyway, we'll see how I do then.
Along those lines, I'm sure many of y'all have heard of Mrs. Obama's healthy eating campaign. So she's got to be a bit distressed to hear about a recent Gallup poll that asked 175,000 Americans whether they had easy access to fresh fruits and veggies (92% said yes) and whether they actually ate the recommended daily servings (46% said yes).
Oops. So the LA Times has a great (and a bit sarcastic!) article about what this poll really means. The author's conclusion? We don't wanna! ::heh:: I suppose I have a bit of libertarian streak in me - I don't want to be told what to eat, but once I decide for myself, it's a goal I can keep.
