Eat This Not That!

Whether you're a banquet manager, waiter or chef, you work with the freshest food available everyday (or at least we hope). We just take it for granted that it's healthy, lean, and has no processed ingredients. Then we need to deal with all the special orders from those "healthy customers" like:

• sauce on the side
• baked instead of fried
• make sure there's no salt in it
• yadda yadda yadda

But are these same pain-in-the-butts aware of what's in most of the common food they eat everyday when they go to the supermarket or order from their favorite fast food joint? Of course not.

I came across this great book, well actually my wife did, that is called "Eat This Not That!

You gotta get it. It's small, very colorful and lists the actual brand names of products that are either loaded with too much extra sugar, salt, or whatever else is bad for you, then compares that to another similar product that is actually good for you. See a sample page below.


There's a comparison of breakfast cereals, juices, cooking oils, energy bars, fast food chains, you name it. The book is small enough to put in your pocket when you go shopping. Hey, don't take my word for it, just click on one of the Amazon.com links below and check it out for yourself.



Hey, what do I know? I spend most of my time eating the left over cookies or cakes from the buffets anyway. Who's got time to eat healthy...I guess only those "tree-hugging" vegans!
