Spending huge amounts of our income on food became an annoyance to me. I'd rather go to Europe thank you very much!! We wanted four things, to eat well and enjoy our meals while keeping our weight and our expenses under control. Incentive was born and I started to do something about it. I hope to use this Blog to share what I've discovered.

Technologically Challenged?

For those who don't have access to a computer, the government says they will release an old-fashioned pen and pencil version we can all use to calculate what our food intake should be.


While the algorithm used to determine our food intake is under some scrutiny.

The requirements for a man in his mid-40s, for example, can be identical to that of his 15 year old son.

Experts say the overall message here is a good one.

Namely, that we need to take an individual look at what and how much we are eating.

Sometimes we try to make things to complicated with all of the infomation that is out there.

The basic thing is, we are eating more than we need, and as a result we are getting to be a much heavier society, with not enough exersize to burn off the extra calories we are putting into our bodies.

They were trying to be adaptable, and that's always a difficult thing when you are dealing with millions and millions of people.
