For some, food is a means to instant gratification and not much more. But food on a personal level is mostly about health. Garbage in, garbage our, as they say.

The way many of us eat is killing us. Here, at DRB, we grew up eating the “Western Diet,” too. And we’ve suffered for it with obesity and high blood pressure. When we started reading and researching to start this blog, we gradually adopted healthier eating. Eventually, we tried Keto and lost 40 pounds. All good. But eating healthy, and not too much of anything, is what we’re about now that we are aging.

This video and the course behind it from Coursera, is a great introduction to the issues we face as Western Diet consumers.
