That is how I feel after reading this thread. What the hell?

On the topic...

Eating healthy in the United States is easy - provided you are willing to spend more than 5 minutes on your meals. (In other words, you ain't gonna get it at a drive-thru - you have to learn to cook.)

For a quick dinner, I like to make a frittata - with roasted potatoes and green beans (or broccoli or spinach), a little bacon, eggs and cheddar cheese. It only takes a few minutes because I roast the potatoes and cook the bacon ahead of time. (Cooked bacon keeps beautifully in the freezer.)

Another fast dinner is based on salade nicoise. Put some roasted potatoes and roasted or blanched green beans on a piece of heavy duty foil, add some nicoise or kalamata olives and a few grape tomatoes, then dump in a can of olive oil-packed tuna, drizzle with lemon juice, and toss in a sprig of thyme and some cracked pepper. Seal the foil packet and bake it in a 350-degree oven just until it's all heated through. (About 20 minutes or so.)

The key to eating healthy is to shop the periphery of the grocery store (where the fresh food is). Stay out of the middle. That's where all the high fructose corn syrup and soy-laden crap is.

I agree

I found it easy to eat healthy in the US. Just gotta be willing to cook.

Whole Foods is likely where you will want to shop at.

There are plenty of resturants all over the spectrum, including some that serve raw food.

Tango Sur is an excellent one if your looking for high protein giant steak cheap

true, the key behind healthy eating is to be organised and plan your meals in advance
that way one wont be tempted to go the easy route on those busier days and eat processed/junk foods..

Eating healthier in America is less expensive than eating out every day--provided you can cook a little. As other people have stated, preparing your meals in advance is KEY. I will usually cook my lunch the night before which usually consists of: lean chicken breast with garlic season and a little virgin olive oil, an assortment of vegetables(usually of the frozen kind, but they are still nutritious), and a baked sweet potato with a little virgin olive oil. The price for that meal comes out alot less than if I were to dine at some fast food place.

Shawnt25 said:

me too, i just replace the sweet potato with green salad and there i go..
today i have had two pieces of red jamaican tilapia, and a green salad dressed with lemon..

it was delicious, quick, cheap and easy..

(tilapia is a white fish, with a light fresh taste, you can bake or grill it)

I need to add more fish into my diet. I don't eat it nearly enough.

Shawnt25 said:

i eat a lot of protein, so i make sure a lot of that is fish or sea food..
i love salmon, trout, tuna and shark steaks, barracuda is very nice as well.
but i die, die, die for squid..

eraclito said:

A few years ago, I went Brazil and bought some squid from a local fisherman. I had some friends who breaded it and cooked it up. DELICIOUS. That was the first and last time I have ever had squid. I can't find any good places around here that carry it.

Shawnt25 said:

sweet potatoes

I like to bake them and put a little brown sugar and all spice on them.

eraclito said:

I do not like fish very much

I wish I did.

shanti0608 said:

They taste good with cinnamon too!

Shawnt25 said:

Yes I use cinnamon when I do not have any allspice. In the fall/winter I use allspice in the summer I like cinnamon.
Yum!

shanti0608 said:

cinnamon is one of the spices in allspice right?

horatio said:

yep, I believe so.

Shawnt25 said:

I love cinnamon , but when I think of it I don't exactly think of healthy food .
