At Fooducate, a short but useful piece on vocabulary and how it influences our weight-loss journey. The poster, registered dietician Sheah Rarback, strongly advocates for eliminating the word “cheat” (“I cheated on my diet!”) from your food lexicon, and substituting “choose”. We may occasionally – I certainly far too often – make choices that, as Debi likes to say, are not the wisest: but still, these are choices we make, not deplorable cheats. “Every day I meet people who feel shame or are chastised by well-meaning family and friends for what they eat. This compounds the negative feelings of 'cheating' on a diet. It is time for a shift in language and attitude. A first step is to change 'cheat' to 'choose.' ”
Monica Reinagel has the most nutrition-effective ways to prepare veggies, and whether “veggie pasta”, the green-and-orange kind, is really more nutritious than the ordinary kind (not really); Marion Nestle analyzes the recent assurances that McDonald's will offer healthier menu items. (They're going to “Promote and market only water, milk, and juice as the beverage in Happy Meals”, with sodas as a special option. Sometime before the year 2020, we're assured.) At the Washington Post, how to bring sad wilting vegetables back to life. And from Summer Tomato, how to introduce all those healthy veggies and fruits into your without abdominal discomfort and, shall we say, public embarrassment?
Recipes! Chow.com has a collection of salmon recipes, ranging from “Maple-Mustard Grilled Salmon” to a salmon salad with dill to something I can only describe as a smoked salmon McMuffin. A set of winter-squash recipes, bulgur pilaf, a kale coleslaw with apples, and braised Brussels sprouts with pancetta and shallots. Sprouted Kitchen has quinoa-cauliflower patties, Simply Recipes has scrambled eggs with kale and mozzarella. And from Snack Girl we have healthy snacks for game day, apple oatmeal muffins, a celebration of someone who lost 70 pounds, and the wonders of five minutes of exercise per day! As one of her commenters points out, “No matter how far or fast you go, you are doing it faster than someone who's sitting on the couch.”

October is also – to pick only the healthier items – National Seafood Month, American Cheese Month, National Spinach Lovers' Month, Celebrate Sun-Dried Tomatoes Vegetarian Awareness Month, and National Chili Month (this first week of National Chili Month is National Chili Week). This Friday, the 4th, is National Taco Day. And one week from today is National Moldy Cheese Day – I hope they mean Roquefort.
