fries

Picture this: A small fast food French fries today is three times the size it was 40 years ago, and a restaurant serving of pasta can be as much as seven times the serving size you'd find on the side of a box of spaghetti. One of the biggest contributors to our nation's obesity epidemic is our problem with portion distortion. Portion sizes have grown exponentially, but do you even know what a proper portion looks like?

Strawberries

Come Spring, and strawberries are a welcome reprise from citrus (not that we don't love a good orange!). Paired with champagne or chocolate, this is arguably the sexiest, most alluring fruit. It's no surprise strawberries hail from the rose family. The bright red flesh and tiny, delicate seeds make a strawberry a strawberry - even though there are some 600 varieties. Unfortunately, some of the best strawberries will likely never cross our lips as they don't fare well at all in transport (unless you grow your own!). And no artificial strawberry flavoring comes close to the aroma and natural flavor of a fine, organic and fresh strawberry.

mayonnaise

A kitchen staple, mayonnaise today is synonymous with the off-white goop in a jar. While it's a great and easy spread for sandwiches, jarred mayonnaise (even organic!) contains a whole lot more than the four ingredients my French friend used when she showed me how to make it by hand: egg yolks, oil, mustard and lemon juice.
