I took a class in nutrition last year at University of Hilo and learned about the importance of eating more nutritious food verses eating just a ton of empty calories. Eating a plate of something packed with colorful, nutritious veggies and grains gives your body more of what it needs and can be substantially more satisfying than eating several times the same amount of food that is gray and lacking in the vitamins and minerals your body needs. If you are eating a lot of fast food and stuff that is gray and lacking in natural colors your body might be starving causing you to be hungry more and more leading to eventual health problems such as obesity, high blood pressure, cancers and diabetes. So eat more vegetables and give your body what it needs and you will be hungry less and healthy more. I am accompanying this post with this crazy picture of a poisonous mushroom I found in my yard.
