Vegetarian Journal 2005 Issue 2 Building Strong Bones Over a Lifetime By Reed Mangels, PhD, RD We often take our bones for granted— they’re just a part of us—keeping us standing, walking, running, sitting a lot, maybe skiing or biking. We don’t think about them much until something goes wrong—one breaks or bends or somehow interferes with what we want to do. As we age, we’re less able to be complacent about our bones.

The Progressive Increase of Food Waste in America and
Food waste contributes to excess consumption of freshwater and fossil fuels which, along with methane and CO2 emissions from decomposing food, impacts global climate change. Here, we calculate the energy content of nationwide food waste from the difference between the US food supply and the food consumed by the population. The latter was estimated using a validated mathematical model of metabolism relating body weight to the amount of food eaten. We found that US per capita food waste has progressively increased by ~50% since 1974 reaching more than 1400 kcal per person per day or 150 trillion kcal per year. Food waste now accounts for more than one quarter of the total freshwater consumption and ~300 million barrels of oil per year.

Get Healthy!
The Health Deceptions articles on this site give us many examples of foods, drinks, and practices that are harmful. When we hear this type of news, it is easy to respond with extreme actions. For example, when we find we have been eating the wrong kinds of foods, we may rush to the kitchen and completely empty the cupboards. After all, if it’s not good, get rid of it! Unless you are suffering from a life-threatening disease, I would not recommend such a radical dietary change. Over the years, I have found that the most successful way to change a wrong habit is to focus on adding a right habit.
