Cohousing-L Mailing List: Info for healthy meal planning

[Dahako (Dahako]

Hi all -

I don't know if other cohousing folk might be interested, but the link below is 
a good source if you are trying to create healthy meals that also work for 
diabetic members.

The information is also probably useful if you have Atkins adherents who want 
more info on good carbs/bad carbs in common meals.

Fair warning - it is thorough, so it's loooooong.

For more food for thought (sorry, couldn't resist) check out the February 2004 
issue of Discover magazine, p 43.  It has an article about Walter Willett of 
the Dept of Nutrition of the Harvard School of Public Health and shows his 
version of the food pyramid (which stands on a base of "exercise").  In the 
past, I've found his ideas very useful in cohousing meal planning - which is 
one of my favorite parts of preparing common meals, ranked right after sharing 
a six-pack or a bottle of wine with the cooking team while doing prep!
