Growing up, we are told not to be picky eaters and to try different foods. But the reality for some is that picky eating is a matter of life or death. Or so they might think.
In my last column, I took a hard look at how our food system is failing our children and how this is contributing to our problem with childhood obesity in America. Tomorrow night, ABC will premiere chef Jamie Oliver’s new television series “Food Revolution.” Throughout the series, Oliver will work to combat this issue in the town of Huntington, W.Va., which was recently named the unhealthiest city in America. I can’t yet speak to the impact his efforts will have, but I support the show for bringing attention to a problem so often overlooked. Oliver chose an avenue where he can best combat it, which is through cooking and food education.
In my last column, I looked at the shortfalls of Michelle Obama’s new “Let’s Move” campaign to end childhood obesity and the problems it poses regarding body image issues. This week I’m going to use the campaign as a springboard into what I feel is an even more dire issue: what lies at the heart of the obesity problem — our broken food system.
We use the words “health” and “weight” too often in this country as if they are one and the same.

Thanksgiving is about as American a holiday as they get.

Then, we either watch football or hit the shopping malls.
The temperatures are dropping. The sky is starting to get dark at 4 p.m. Our glowing summer skin has faded away. And many of us are missing the sun and longing for our tan to return.
It often seems the older we get, the busier we get, and it’s easy to put exercising on the back burner when this happens. Understandably, several people have written in asking about ways to balance work and school schedules to make time for exercise.
Our country is caught in quite the health care crisis. In 2007, The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality estimated that 27 percent of Americans under the age of 65 are uninsured — a total of nearly 54 million people. They estimate the number has gone up since then, following the rise of the unemployment rate.
We all got that “Emergency Preparedness” talk four or five times on the first day of class — the speech about what we’re going to do if we all get the swine flu. It’s a hot-button issue in the news right now. Some people think it’s all hype; others are scared to shake hands for fear of getting germs.
To be honest, I find the task of writing a health column quite daunting. There is so much information out there about healthy living -- some of it helpful, some of it not -- it's overwhelming. How do you know what's real and what's a trend?
If U.S. culture is shaped by the opposing worlds of avant-garde art and mainstream media, it appears that Nam June Paik has found a way in which to wire both together.
