Excited to share that California's bill to bring plant-based options to hospitals is one step closer to becoming law after it passed through the Assembly's Public Safety Committee unanimously this week! https://t.co/vtzPnhpgkI

When you are thinking about food, reaching for food, or eating, you are one of three things:
- You are hungry.
- You are thirsty.
- You are seeking Dopamine.
If you are hungry enough to eat vegetables; especially with little or no seasoning, then you are hungry. Cool, eat.

@PlantDietitian @HarvardHealth The question about protein desperately needs to be replaced with “where do you get your fibre?”

If you would balk at eating dozens and dozen of olives in one sitting then why would you put oil in the food? If you’re worried about “healthy fats” eat the actual olive, and sauté in broth! #wfpb #healthyfood

From the article: "If you stick to a low-fat diet for at least eight weeks, your body will adapt to those conditions and you will become more sensitive to fat taste." https://t.co/KkS4RqSad3 via @ConversationEDU

Calorie density is the bomb. The only sensible way to eat for your ideal weight, never again worry about your hunger drive and portion control. Crazy concept....

[The Healthy Canadian @thehealthycdn]

For the same reason that we don't question how many breaths we take, we are crazy to think we need to manage our appetite and calorie consumption down to the micron.

[The Healthy Canadian @thehealthycdn]

Out of all the ways that we can survive, what meets the parameters for ideal health?  A way of living that allows us to look, feel, and function at our best. Not just to survive or lose weight.

[The Healthy Canadian @thehealthycdn]

Does it feel in-line with our nature to live off of packaged, processed, individually portioned so-called foods, while fighting off our hunger drive?
