It tastes good and it's good for you- is that an oxymoron?

We don't eat out much anymore as it is expensive. Our main haunt is Golden Corral because it is cheap and the food is good. This is usually limited to B'fast once a week or two weeks and sometimes supper on special occasions.

We make most everything from scratch these days and eat little processed food. We bake our own bread - and once you start this process - you never want to go back to commercial. Our bread contains flax, bran, wheat germ, and lately chia. It is very nutritious and filling I must add. We make our own burger and hotdog buns. It's taken a long time to finally come up with the desired recipe for this, but it's finally in place. Salads are big here right now and everyone is into them. Also summer is great because of all the fresh fruit.

Who needs fast food?

No… that would be a miracle.
Nothing that tastes good is good for you.

In Australia, fast food resturants (not actual resturants with menus and such), like Mc D., Hungry Jacks, etc must display nutritional information about all of their products, it's the law. All food products sold in grocery stores must also contain nutritional charts with fat content etc.

That's a great idea and it is coming here as well and we do have all the ingredients listed on super market items..... But sometimes you have to be careful even reading them cause they slip other stuff in with different names .like fructose asnd other names

Quote:

Decode the label
"If the words 'partially hydrogenated', 'hydrogenated' or 'modified' vegetable oil, shortening or lard are listed as ingredients, the food likely contains trans fat," says Bonnie Conrad, a registered dietitian in Halifax. The higher up these words appear in the ingredients list, the more likely it is that trans fat is present.

If the Nutrition Facts label on your packaging doesn't state the amount of trans fat, you can estimate it with this simple calculation: add up the total grams of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat listed, and then subtract that amount from the total fat listed. Any leftover amount is probably trans fat.

Even if your favourite food claims to be trans-fat free, it may still contain up to 0.2g of trans fat per serving. (This is in accordance with Health Canada labelling regulations.) Eat these foods in moderation, because just one gram of trans fat a day is enough to increase your risk of heart disease by 20 per cent.

The do that here too. There are posters on the side walls and info on the bottom that no one ( sadly) seems to notice very often.
