6 Fast-Food Veggie Burgers That Are Worse Than A Big Mac
When you order a veggie burger, you don't have to worry about whether the beef you're about to eat is antibiotic-free and grass-fed. Still, there's a good chance your favorite bean or mushroom patty is a lot less healthy than you think. And by less healthy, we mean it has more calories, lots more sodium, and more saturated fat than a McDonald's Big Mac. More: 5 Things You Need to Know Before Buying Grass-Fed What?! How's that possible? For starters, the veggies in these patties are often held together with oil or lard, pretty much eradicating the low-cal benefits of a burger made from beans, carrots, zucchini, or oats in...

Fixing A Food Desert Isn’t As Easy As Putting A Grocery Store On Wheels
For many Native American communities, access to a full-service grocery store can be extremely limited, causing many residents to make less healthy food choices and contributing to diet-related health issues. As part of an effort to fix that for a half-dozen low-income communities between Santa Fe and Albuquerque in New Mexico, a 50-foot, full-service grocery store-on-wheels began pulling up twice a week to a number of plazas in the area beginning in 2011, offering better food options to area residents. Without it, residents were forced to drive long distances to buy fresh groceries. That was until early this year, when the...

A Glimpse Of An Everyday Struggle Among Haiti's Health Care Workers
JEAN DENIS, Haiti -- At the health clinic here, three hours northwest of Port-au-Prince, a crowd of mostly women and girls linger in the shade away from the afternoon sun, waiting to see a doctor. This is one of the least developed areas of the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. For miles around, this clinic is the only place people can come for modern medical attention. "You are standing at the edge of the heartland of the rural area," said Francoise Peak, a translator who frequently works with the United Nations and joined a group of reporters at the clinic. In rural Haiti, she said, people can blame even simple ...

Palatetraining: Parents Aim to Buy the Best Food but Need to Make the Best Food
(Counterclockwise from top right to bottom right: My palette of fresh organic homemade tricolor carrots, sweet potato, butternut squash, Fuji applesauce, sweet peas, green beans and banana purees.)
The other day a new parent told me, "I don't make my own baby food, but I only buy organic." She was confident and assured that her baby was getting "fresh organic fruits, vegetables, and whole grains" because of the "organic," "100 percent natural," made with "pure vegetables and fruits," "no artificial flavors," labels on the jar or squeeze pouch. She had no idea that she had begun her baby's relationship with a food imposter...

Get An Exclusive Discount On America's Test Kitchen's Top-Rated Vegetable Spiralizer
Zoodles are taking the world by veggie-fueled storm. If you haven't heard, zoodles are spiralized or julienned vegetables that function similarly to spaghetti. Zoodle fans adore them for their low-carb, low-calorie, pasta-mimicking potential. They can be topped classically, with tomato sauce, mixed into a soup or stir fry, made into mac & cheese, or -- really, they have limitless potential.

A Glimpse Into a School Lunchroom in France
When my husband and I first moved to Paris, I spent some time substitute teaching while I figured out what I was going to do with the new life I found myself in.
I'll never forget how I dreaded being on lunchtime supervision because I saw that fish was on the menu that day. I had been a teacher for long enough to know that there were going to be a lot of elementary school kids plugging their noses and telling me they didn't like fish. This was going to be a long supervision period.
Those kids proved me so wrong that I was left in disbelief. They were actually asking for seconds, and I was the only one scrunching up my n...

Vitamin N Deficiency Linked to ADHD
Approximately 11 percent of children ages 4 to 17 have been diagnosed with ADHD according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2011 statistics, accounting for 6.4 million cases nationwide.
