Cooking tips

Buy Local Food : See if you can find out where your food has gone before it gets to your plate. You may be suprised by the results. Often it will make financial sense for companies to transport food enourmous distances by planes, boats and lorries. This dosn't take the environmental cost into account (which of course is likely to lead to greatly increased economic costs in the long term).

Buy Local Food : Take a child shopping with you, pick up one of the offending products and say quite loudly "Well we’re not buying that, think of the energy it’s used up just getting here!"

Dieting tips

The South Beach Diet

Examples of good foods include, lean beef, turkey bacon, shrimp, ricotta cheese, pistachios, nonfat yoghurt and some vegatables, such as artichokes, cabbage and mushrooms.
