Your t
How much time do you spend each day planning and preparing meals, not to mention
shopping for them and of course eating them? While there are people who enjoy all of
this, and not just the part which involves eating, some of us wish it could be simpler
and easier to accomplish this basic task of getting nutrients into our bodies, a single
product that provides all of our nutritional needs is surely not far away. In fact, there are
already products on the market that claim to do just that. But, perhaps we need not take
the "simplify your life" advice this far. Maybe just adding more rice and beans to the
diet would do it. It would certainly simplify our shopping and make us healthier if we
cut out the nutritionally questionable snack foods, such as candy, chips, and soda. Most
of us would be better off just drinking water and having some fruit for dessert. We
don't need to be vegetarians, but cutting some or even most of the meat out of our diets
would probably leave us both healthier and wealthier. Perhaps the best advice we can
follow to simplify our diets is to remember the old adage: Eat to live; don't live to eat.
