Growing up and “my spot” at the table While I was growing up, one of the most annoying but now in hindsight inspiring habits that my family developed in us, was eating together at the table. Even today, we sit around a table and eat. We sit around a table so often, that we all have our very own spots. My …
Following last week’s post on Food Myths, I decided to look into the world of diary. The main reason for this is because Rochelle, my wife, said to me a couple of days ago, “I need to drink more milk?“. So I asked her why she decided to mention that to me, considering that there was no relation to the …
I decided that this week I would write an article each on salt and sugar. They are probably the two most common enemies (along with fat) when we talk about health and diets.

And, I blame advertising because it tells us everyday how that “stuff” is actually food and is good for us. Really??!! How can …
It has been a common topic of argument, who is to blame for our obesity crisis? Do you blame the government, do you blame yourself, or do you blame your genes? A lot of views differ. In fact, I used to believe that the only reason for someone being fat is the habits their parents thought them growing up. Which …
What are your New Year’s resolutions for 2014? When we look around us, we notice that people are getting bigger. And bigger doesn’t mean better. There are overweight adults and even worse overweight children everywhere. There are adults who need more than 4 coffees a day to stay at the office because they get tired so often through the day. …
Did you know that the word BRIDE is derived from an old english meaning of the word “COOK“? I found this quite amusing. Also, the word “groom” means “male child”. Yes, men are always children. Do you know of any other words that have amusing meanings?
