We're all told to eat healthier food. But is the financial burden of this demand too much for some families to bear? Laci explores if the cost of healthy food a real barrier to a healthier society. Read More: Eating Healthy Is Cheaper Than You Think http://healthland.time.com/2013/12/05/eating-healthy-is-cheaper-than-you-think/ "The smart people at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) have crunched the numbers and it's official: the healthiest diets cost just $1.50 more than unhealthy diets." Eating Healthy vs. Unhealthy Will Cost You $550 More Per Year, Study Reveals http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/05/eating-healthy-vs-unhealthy_n_4383633.html "Many people assert that unhealthy eating habits are the result of economic hardship. They say that healthful food is simply more expensive than unhealthful food. Now, science backs them up." True Costs of So-called Cheap Food http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ellen-gustafson/true-costs-of-so-called-cheap-food_b_4337423.html "If I had a dollar for every time someone said that they don't buy fruits and vegetables or "healthy food" because it's too expensive, I could feed a small town all organic food for years!" Do healthier foods and diet patterns cost more than less healthy options? A systematic review and meta-analysis http://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/3/12/e004277.full.pdf+html 2013 Federal Poverty Guidelines http://www.familiesusa.org/resources/tools-for-advocates/guides/federal-poverty-guidelines.html Poverty in the United States http://www.npc.umich.edu/poverty/ "The United States determines the official poverty rate using poverty thresholds that are issued each year by the Census Bureau." Income, Not "Food Deserts," More to Blame for U.S. Obesity http://www.gallup.com/poll/164513/income-not-food-deserts-blame-obesity.aspx " In the U.S., obesity in "food deserts" is above average. However, it is not solely -- or even primarily -- access to grocery stores that appears to be the issue -- higher obesity rates are more likely to be linked to lower incomes." When Eating Well Is a Matter of Where You Live http://www.patchworknation.org/content/when-eating-well-is-a-matter-of-where-you-live "America's battle to lose weight and eat healthy has many fronts. There is the battle to get Americans to make better choices at restaurants. There is the battle to get them to shop smarter."

There's a new diet trend that is scientifically proven to help you live a longer and healthier life. It's the increasingly popular 'mediterranean diet' and as Laci Green shows us, it's one of the easiest, tastiest diets out there. Read More: Mediterranean Diet Shown to Ward Off Heart Attack and Stroke http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/26/health/mediterranean-diet-can-cut-heart-disease-study-finds.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1 "About 30 percent of heart attacks, strokes and deaths from heart disease can be prevented in people at high risk if they switch to a Mediterranean diet rich in olive oil, nuts, beans, fish, fruits and vegetables, and even drink wine with meals, a large and rigorous new study has found." Mediterranean Diet Has Huge Health Benefits, New Study Finds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JiKXdZwiIg "The Times's Gina Kolata talks about a new study, published on The New England Journal of Medicine's Web site, focusing on the health benefits of a Mediterranean diet." Mediterranean diet: A heart-healthy eating plan http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/mediterranean-diet/CL00011 "The heart-healthy Mediterranean is a healthy eating plan based on typical foods and recipes of Mediterranean-style cooking. Here's how to adopt the Mediterranean diet." Mediterranean-diet-style eating may improve health in later life http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/mediterranean-diet-style-eating-may-improve-health-in-later-life/2013/11/04/31bef612-423a-11e3-a751-f032898f2dbc_story.html "Do midlife eating habits affect how healthy people will be as they age? THIS STUDY analyzed data on 10,670 women, most in their late 50s and generally healthy." For Mind And Body: Study Finds Mediterranean Diet Boosts Both http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2013/11/05/242994376/for-mind-body-study-finds-mediterranean-diet-boosts-both "For all of us nearing middle age, or slogging through it, yes, there is a benefit in eating a Mediterranean-style diet rich in fish, nuts, vegetables and fruit."

We're stoked to have World Freerunning Champion Tim Shieff share the recipe for his own after-training shake: "Datorade". Packed with bananas, dates, flavour & nutrients it's healthy AND 100% raw vegan. FULL INFO BELOW Check out Tim's channel to see the amazing things this man can do outside of the kitchen: http://www.youtube.com/livewire RECIPE: http://goo.gl/Bfm2HW 4 medium ripe bananas 8 medjool dates 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp ground ginger 1 litre water Blend until smooth Serves 4 people NUTRITION INFO Per serving (per glass); 139 cals, 0.4g fat, 0.1g saturated), 1.6g protein, 30.3g carbs, 27.7g sugar. FOOD FACTS +Dates are high in chloride which aids digestion. +Bananas contain potassium which helps our muscles to work properly. This is especially important after exercise so that our muscles can repair and grow. +Drinking a smoothie like this is better than your average energy drink because it provides just as much energy and sugar but it also provides your body with other nutrients like fibre and vitamins & minerals which are needed when you work hard at the gym. The % breakdown of bananas Tim talks about is the approximate contribution of the energy from different macronutritents. What do you put in YOUR work-out smoothies Food Tubers?

RT: http://bit.ly/ACKGGU Facebook: http://on.fb.me/xiJUpH Dragon Sized Dumplings: Dumpling and dough ingredients: 9 shrimp 2 stalks of green onion 1 inch (2.54 cm) of ginger root 1 1/2 cups (350mL) celery (blanched and processed) 3/4 lb (335g) ground beef 2 1/2 (595 mL) cups of flour 1/4 cup (60 mL) vegetable oil 1 tbsp (15 mL) soy sauce 1 cup (240 mL) bamboo shoots 1 tbsp (15 mL) of Panda brand Oyster sauce 2 tsp (10 mL) of salt Dipping sauce ingredients: 1 part Black rice vinegar 2 parts Soy Sauce 1 part Sesame oil Dumpling filling: - Mince the green onions and ginger - Butterfly the shrimp and dice into small bits - Dice the bamboo shoots - Squeeze out the liquid from the blanched and food processed celery into a large mixing bowl onto the ground beef - Add in ginger and green and onion to mixture and stir until liquid has been soaked up - Add vegetable oil, soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, shrimp, and bamboo shoots - Mix thoroughly - Pour in remaining celery and continue to mix ingredients in Dumpling dough: - Mix the flour with one cup (240mL) of warm water. Stir and knead until combined. Cover and let sit overnight. - Cut dough into slices and roll out into tubes - Cut off small sections of the dough, one per each dumpling - Flour your working surface - Press dough out onto surface, with a rolling pin, work your way around the dough and flatten it into a small circle. Make it as thin and flat as possible Creating the dumpling: - Dollop out a small amount of mixture onto the dumpling - Take one side of the dough and fold it over the dumpling. Carefully work your way around both edges, being careful to not press any mixture between the folds - When you've finished, close off the seams one more time for extra security. - Follow the same steps to create a massive dragon dumpling, except when closing this off, take one side and begin working clockwise or counterclockwise from that spot, folding the dough over itself until you've wrapped it entirely. Cooking the dumpling: - For regular dumplings, bring a pot of water to boil and drop them in. - They will be ready when they float to the top and have small wrinkles in them and are slightly transparent - For dragon sized dumplings, pour water into a steamer and place the dumpling on top of a bed of lettuce on a ceramic plate. - Bring the water to a boil and place the dumpling inside, closing the lid. Let it steam for 15-20 minutes. Making dipping sauce: - Combine 1 parts black rice vinegar, 2 parts soy sauce, and 1 part sesame oil. Mix together. - To add extra spiciness, try stirring in some red chili paste. Serve hot and eat up! Happy new year! ================= Send us things!

RT: http://bit.ly/yaR38v Facebook: http://on.fb.me/xt750t Sea Salt Icecream from Kingdom Hearts II Makes 3-4 servings Ingredients: 4 large egg yolks 1 teaspoon (5 mL) vanilla extract 1/2 cup (120 mL) sugar 1/8 teaspoon (.625 mL) salt 1 teaspoon (5 mL) sea salt 6 ounces (180 mL) evaporated milk 1 cup (240 mL) heavy cream Separate the egg yolks and place into a mixer. Add vanilla extract, sugar, and regular salt. Whisk on medium to high until the mixture falls off the whisk in thick ribbons. In a small pot bring the evaporated milk to a simmer. Be careful not to boil it or scald the milk by making the heat too high. Incorporate the simmered milk into the egg mixture by mixing and pouring in slowly. Once combined, pour entire mixture back into the small pot and place on stove at a medium heat. Whisk continuously until the mixture begins to thicken and take on a custard like texture. Be very careful not to boil or overheat the pot otherwise your eggs will begin to scramble. Once finished, place the mixture into the freezer until it reaches room temperature (30-45 minutes) Add in 1/2 cup (120 mL) of heavy cream to the mixer and whisk until it has doubled in volume. Remove the egg mixture from the freezer. Carefully fold in the whipped heavy cream into the egg mixture until it is fully combined. Pour the contents into an ice cube tray, spread it out evenly, then place back in the freezer to freeze (3-4 hours). In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup (120 mL) of heavy cream with 10 drops of blue food coloring and 3 drops of green food coloring. Mix until the cream it desired color. In a food processor, combine the food coloring heavy cream, sea salt, and ice cream chunks from your ice cube tray. Put in as little or as much sea salt as you'd like. It has a very powerful flavor and you may find the salty taste a big overwhelming, so add it in slowly and mix it around until you feel you have a good balance between sweet and salty. Blend the ingredients together in the food processor, occasionally stopping to stir the chunks around. Once the entire mixture has reached a soft-serve like consistency, pour the mixture into your ice cream molds. Stick popsicle sticks in and place back into freezer. After about 3-4 hours, your ice cream will be done! Take the molds out and run them under warm water to remove the ice cream more easily. ================= Send us things!
