Thanksgiving Day and Halloween provided some interesting caloric hurdles to overcome.  The Winter Festive Season is coming up and packed with holiday cheer and opportunities for more food-related celebrations.

It appears as though we humans never seem to get a break from food temptations.  Television advertisements, cooking channels, billboard signs, grocery flyers, and online apps encourage us to feast and dine relentlessly with mouth-watering images and meal deals.  Food is viewed in so many ways as a recreational activity, a way of life, a personal style, and as a voracious addiction

It is a difficult situation, to say the least, to make sense of this constant food bombardment from social media.  Fad diets in the market may fail to help people achieve their goal weight.  Many Nutrition experts offer suggestions and publish popular titles emphasizing determination, willpower, exercise, and a sensible eating plan.  Knowledge about how food is perceived, utilized, and created in social media may help in recognizing why food culture becomes so deeply ingrained in society. 

 

Here are some titles worth ingesting:

May your winter festivities be aglow with joy, good appetite, and some rich hearty reading.
