Greenday

Brought to you by: The WellGrounded Life
On this Greenday, I thought I'd a little levity with a word on nutrition from another blogger. I've made the point before that food choices should be made primarily for reasons of faith and stewardship of the earth. Here's some news on choosing foods according to what will or will not give you a heart attack (all in good fun, but also true)...
Below is “The Last Word on Nutrition,” which combines the results of many independent scientific studies.

The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Canadians, British, Australians or Americans.

The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Canadians, British, Australians or Americans.

The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Canadians, British, Australians or Americans.

The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Canadians, British, Australians or Americans.

The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats, and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Canadians, British, Australians or Americans.

The Ukrainians drink a lot of vodka, eat a lot of perogies and cabbage rolls and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Canadians, British, Australians or Americans.

Conclusion: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
