  • annefood I'm not sure if I'm ready for a "dish that leaves tiny legs hanging from your mouth" but maybe an ant salt margarita would be a good entry point...??

Celebrity endorsements of food and drinks show that 80%+ are for junk food.

I knew the number was high, but this is pretty sad. I'm sure part of the issue is that healthier food options don't have budgets for celebrity endorsements.
  • darkchocolatepeanutbutter I don't like this trend at all. It reminds me of when celebrities endorsed cigarettes in advertisements. I'm glad Michelle Obama has celebrities endorsing fruits and veggies for her campaign but...
  • munchiemummy There should definitely be limitations on junk food advertising, just like there is for alcohol and cigarettes. Unfortunately, big food would put up a big fight.
  • etsummer I think it's harder too that junk foods are more branded. Easier to advertise Coca Cola than just 'zucchini' or 'peaches' in general.

  • reneeeats How do you prevent asparagus from wilting in he fridge? Any storage tips?
  • DietIDdietitian Yes! Wrap the asparagus in a damp tea towel or several damp paper towels and place it inside a plastic zipper bag in the refrigerator. If you're trying to avoid plastic, use large food storage...
  • Deaconess Will l all ways keep my asparagus in the refrigerator in a container with water they tend to keep for a week, but I use them within that time cause anything in the refrigerator will change over time

  • reneeeats Love this! We do this often. I keep steamed lentils from TJ’s on hand for this reason
  • DianaO love this! We sometimes do stacks of grilled red pepper, mushrooms, and tomato with hummus in between each layer -- all over a bed of greens - delicious and SO easy!

  • salleya This is very doable! Love the alternative also! You are making breakfast a bit easier for me and that is just what i need. THANK YOU
  • johnathanlhuntgmailcom I am a huge peanut butter fan. This will be great for my son because he loves waffles as well. My wife and I will eat this with toast instead. I'm guessing whole grain is the way to go there too?

Quinoa, lentils, avocado, roasted beats, roasted chickpeas, with tomato-cucumber salsa. This delicious dinner came together in about 25 minutes, and it’s balanced and full of veggies!
  • annefood Agreed- I keep whole grains and beans in the pantry and when I don’t know what to do for dinner I just throw them in a bowl with a veggie or lettuce and some dressing.
  • msantiago I never thought of raising beets! I love beets any which way . Think I’ll try that! 🤔
  • DietID_TeamDietitians Yes! Super easy to roast. Just oil, salt, pepper and straight into the oven.
