I have definitely found this to be true in my life!Also, the more time people spend on tasks like food shopping, cooking and kitchen cleanup, the more likely they are to be of average weight. The Economic Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture found that people of normal weight spend more time on meal-related tasks than people who are overweight or underweight.
I'm currently in the process of switching to organic foods, myself. I know that I'll be paying more, particularly until I learn how to actually cook, and even after I learn. But I figure it's worth it because I'll also be paying for better nutrition, less harmful substances, and consider it an investment for long term health. Not to mention needing less overall food since the foods we'll be eating are nutrient rich.Too solid flesh wrote:Thanks for posting that, Wosnes.
The article says that "Sales of organic foods have surged". Is that still true now, does anyone know? In the UK sales of organic food have fallen over the past few months as a result of the "credit crunch".
