Real World Nutrition News You Can Use
There is a lot of misinformation about nutrition. And nothing in this field is black-or-white, yes-or-no, but many shades of gray and a lot of “it depends.” So, my goal is to help clear up some of that misinformation with some snark, entertainment, and facts (with some opinion thrown in).
Many of these topics come from interactions with the public, friends, clients, and students. I see sheer misinformation about the science of nutrition, and I do my best to clear things up one blog post at a time.
If you have a topic you are wondering about, let me know.

Hunger or Habit?
Today I pose this the question that many people have difficulty answering: are you eating out of habit or hunger?
First, why do people eat? Silly question, sure. But think about it. We eat out of necessity – humans need food to survive – because we cannot exist on air or water alone despite some people who claim otherwise.
