food

I am so addicted to fast food and really want to stop eating it but I crave it all the time. I eat it just about every day. Im not overweight but I know fast food is bad for your health. I just cant stop eating it though. Any ideas of how to get this out of my system?

How did this happen?

ok im not anorexic i can eat 4 like 3 pplz. lol! ok maybe 2. anyways im so short im 4′7 or 4′8 and i weigh 65 and 1/2 pounds. i looked on the bmi calculator and it said i was extremely underweight (it was like 4. something under the underweight point).

I’m making some traditional Chinese dishes and a few call for dark soy sauce, but everywhere I go I cannot seem to find it, even Whole Foods doesn’t carry it.

Hello… Okay, first, this may seem INCREDIBLY long, but most of this question is a description that I got online of different dog foods. I have some question-type things. Okay, so my almost 2 year old Cosheltie (collie-sheltie mix) has some weird problems, where, he, first, finds it dificult to chew adult dog kibble, hence, not eating dry food plain unless given as a treat. The only exception to that is our puppy’s puppy food, which he is fine eating(?)… I think that he needs smaller kibbles, but I don’t want to give him puppy food, so I decided on maybe trying a small breed formula adult food. Right now, he weighs 40ish pounds and is 20 inches tall. His second problem is that he gets indigestion and loose stools almost once a week. I think that COULD be because we give him a majority wet food, but I’m no veteranarian… Okay, anyway, I did some research, and got some good dry foods with, as the companies claim, small kibbles… Here they are, along with a breif description —>
1. Purina Moist n Meaty Lamb and Rice – Real meat—a wholesome, high-quality source of protein— is the #1 ingredient in every Purina Moist & Meaty flavor. As a main meal, special treat or added to dry food, Moist & Meaty is so complete and satisfying you’ll want to serve it every day. Plus, Moist & Meaty’s convenient easy-open single-serve pouch locks in freshness so every bite is tender and delicious.
2. PEDIGREE SMALL BREED ® Nutrition Mini Crunchy Bites – We’re for the little guys. The toy dogs and the terriers, the comedians and the aristocrats. The lively, lovable characters who fit so easily into our laps — and into our lives. Small breed dogs have big personalities, big hearts, and big egos. But, they have small mouths. Which is why we created this Small Breed Nutrition recipe just for them. Not only does it feature smaller, easier to crunch kibble, it has the great, meaty taste little dogs love.
3. Eukanuba Adult Medium Breed Small Bites Formula – There’s something nice about being in the middle; you’re not too large, or too small. Medium breed dogs need balanced nutrition. Eukanuba recognizes this and designed Eukanuba Medium Breed Adult Small Bite to provide high-quality, complete & balanced nutrition specially formulated with moderate protein and fat levels to maintain their long-term nutritional health. This food has a smaller kibble than our regular Medium Breed Adult for dogs that prefer a smaller kibble. Eukanuba Medium Breed Adult Small Bite also contains an optimal ratio of Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids to help your medium breed dog have healthy skin and a beautiful coat.
4. Purina Kibbles and Mini Chunks Beef Flavor Dry Dog Food – Complete and balanced nutrition doesn’t have to be boring- Purina Kibbles and Mini Chunks proves it. The big beefy flavor in every bite keeps your dog coming back for more. Crunchy kibbles are great for your dog’s healthy smile. And the moist, chewy chunks tempt your dog with great taste and tender texture. Your dog won’t know about the complete and balanced nutrition.Just how great Purina Kibbles and Mini Chunks tastes.
5. Purina Little Bites Dog Food – Whether your dog is big or small, there is no denying the big impact that he has had on your life. Your dog’s nutrition should support his good health—no matter what his size. That’s why Purina® Little Bites Dog Food is made with crunchy, bite-sized kibble packed with great taste and nutrition, for your dog’s long, healthy life. – Also for this, I am finding either Purina Little Bites or Purina Little Bits Indoor Complete, are these two the same? My dog loves the outdoors, but stays inside most of the day
Okay, So out of all these foods, which one could my dog like most if he likes Puppy Chow and Beneful for Puppies? Right now, he eats the Beneful Original formula… Ummm… What else should I tell you? I think thats all. Thank you so much for helping me and my dog(Riley)!! You are going to be so much of a help for us! I promise to pick a best answer!

I want to start working into becoming vegetarian for health and weight reasons. My problem is that I am not an experienced cook and I am a bit timid in the kitchen. I worry about trying new things because I cannot afford to mess up and waste money on foods I don’t like or cannot cook properly. I also have to cook for my boyfriend who eats meat and few veggies.
Is there an easy way to make tasty, filling, and healthy vegetarian meals without jumping into a culinary whirlwind? I prefer rice and pasta to beans. I plan to supplement with a multi-vitamin as well.
Any suggestions?

Thesis:
In order to combat the rising epidemic of obesity in the nation, the government should intervene in fast food restaurants by becoming much stricter on the health of the foods they serve their customers. By posting calorie contents visibly on menus, banning trans fats, and eliminating jumbo sizing options, government intervention could prove to be useful in improving the nation’s collective health.
What is a good antithesis? In other words, why should we not let the government intervene in the fast food franhise?

I know this is my decision but I hope to get some input from people and maybe some pros and cons:
I live in England and I am a twenty-four year old trainee accoutant living with my boyfriend and several rescues pets.
I have always believed in animal welfare but over the last couple of years it has beocme more important to me.
I wouldn’t wear fur and I only by cosmetics and toiletries that are not tested on animals (ones that have the BUAV logo or are BUAV approved). I volunteer at a a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centre every weekend. I sign petitions for animal welfare and lobby members of parliament and things like that. I am a member of several animal charities and make donations and attend events. I am considering becoming a fosterer for a cat charity.
I really love my food and do especially like meat; particularly a very rare (just seared on the edge) fillet mignon! I never eat processed meat only good quality whole cuts. I ensure the meat I buy is from farms that give the animals freedom to roam and good living conditions and good food and no hormones and stuff. I am care ful to uphold these standards when I eat out too.
However I don’t know if it is enough as I feel wierd looking through the PETA website and not being veggie. I would really miss meat and I feel I would be an inconvienience to my boyfriend and family and friends (non of whom are veggie). I already give in sometimes when I am out for dinner with people and we are sharing food (like at a Chinese or Indian restaurant) and I will find myself eating battery farmed chicken just to not ruin their night with my “craziness”.
What do you think?
