...makes sense. Grass is a low-starch, high-protein fibrous food, in contrast to carbohydrate-rich, low-fiber corn and soybeans. When animals are 100% grass-fed, their meat is not only lower in saturated fats but also slightly higher in omega-3 fatty acids, the healthy fats found in salmon and flaxseed, which studies indicate may help prevent heart disease and bolster the immune system. Ground beef and milk from grass-finished cattle also have more conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which recent data suggest may help prevent breast cancer, diabetes and other ailments. Moreover, grass-finished meat is higher...
...Breakfast cereal can be full of fiber, or full of, well, other stuff. And breakfast bars, a newer product aimed at fast eaters running off to school or work, can be just as unhealthy as the worst of cereals. Some have yogurt coatings which are actually composed of dextrose and partially hydrogenated soybean oils. Others are just sweetened cereals repackaged into a candy-bar like wrapper. One product that the Center for Science in the Public Interest says to avoid is Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Blueberry Yogurt Bars, which are high in sodium, low in fiber, and not much better...
With Hyman and Keohane out of the running, the Corporation turned to its fail-safe backup: Bok.

The only thing left to do was to convince a 75-year-old man to leave the beaches of Florida for a bitterly divided university in Massachusetts...
...food-court mentality--Johnny eats a burrito, Dad has a burger, and Mom picks pasta--comes at a cost. Little humans often resist new tastes; they need some nudging away from the salt and fat and toward the fruits and fiber. A study in the Archives of Family Medicine found that more family meals tends to mean less soda and fried food and far more fruits and vegetables...
...eating dairy products as part of a low-calorie diet. And yogurt, as a predigested, cultured dairy product, can be an alternative source of calcium for people who are lactose intolerant. Nonfat and low-fat dairy foods contain seven nutrients of which American diets generally fall short: calcium, potassium, fiber, magnesium and vitamins A, C and E. Three servings of yogurt daily help prevent osteoporosis and contribute to weight loss. Of course, not every yogurt product is as healthy as its image. An average 6-oz. cup can have as many as five teaspoons of sugar--about 80 calories...
