This article explains the many values of sardines.  Sardines are a plentiful and sustainable fish, but aside from being healthy for our environment, they are good for our bodies as well.  Unfortunately, except for some brands like BELA (a high quality Portuguese brand of Sardines built by my friend Joshua Scherz), most sardine brands are floundering due to their fishiness.  This is why the Sardinistas are trying to “reinvent the sardine” and earn it a spot on the American mainstream palate.  Hopefully their saintly marketing effort will be successful because it is too bad that they are unpopular today.

Here is just another link to the great results from Yale’s weight management study.  Members of the test group did not gain weight after adding two KIND bars to their diet each day. Check it out!

KIND Bars Evaluated In Weight Management Study – Nutraceuticals World

Kelly Brownell in the Wall St Journal points out that today "healthy foods cost more and calorie-dense processed and fast foods cost less."

This is partly because of subsidies to high fructose corn syrup and other sugar-laden and corn-derived industries.

It is also because healthful foods without preservatives may not have as long shelf-lives as artificial junk that can outlast a nuclear event – and which don’t need to be replaced as quickly by retailers, say compared to fresh fruit.

And it is also because nowadays so many manufacturers use pastes and emulsions that they purchase with fillers and mystery ingredients you can’t recognize – and which tend to be cheap artificially derived materials that are high in carbs but of empty (or harmful) nutritional content – i.e. HFCS, corn fillers, pastes made of fruit syrups like dates, hydrogenated oils, and to a lesser extent soy fillers, etc.

Look at the ingredients in the back of your product – and watch out for these.

One more article – this one from the Wall Street Journal – on the epidemic our society faces if we don’t get our act together and start eating healthy foods and exercising. (For a quick set of simple rules for healthful eating, see the KIND Diet.)
