"Adults living along may eat the same thing over and over again because it's easy, or lose interest in cooking and eating for one. So they end up on a 'cookies and milk' diet. Having a broad spectrum of healthier choices available often helps nudge people to eat better. The basics of not smoking, physical activity, eating a healthy diet, and managing weight, those four factors can affect health more than any other factors." -- Donald Hensrud, M.D., Preventative Medicine Physician at Mayo Clinic's Rochester campus

Dr. Hensrud,
So true - I try to have several different colors on my plate with each meal. It makes a difference in how I feel.
