Another Good Place to Eat!

To my delight, I have discovered yet another restaurant that provides full nutritional information...Bob Evans. If you visit the Bob Evans Restaurant website, you will find complete information for everything on the menu. All information is printable, so you can take a copy with you, or just determine your meal preferences ahead of time.

If you've been reading this blog, you know my thoughts on full nutritional disclosure. It's very simple really. We need to patronize restaurants that provide this service and boycott those that don't. It is obvious to me that the restaurant chains that don't provide this information are afraid that making it available to the public will stop people from using their restaurants. Quite the opposite is true. If they provide the information, I will patronize. My choices of food are all on my head at that point. But if I don't know the nutrition of what is offered, I refuse to eat there.

On another note, if you haven't invested in an exercise ball, now is the time. They don't cost much...anywhere from 9-20 bucks. Make sure you buy one according to your height. There are quite a few books around that show you how to use it for exercises. But you can also tone your core muscles just by sitting on it. Try using it as a replacement for your computer chair...the very action of staying upright and centered strengthens your core muscles, improves your balance and straightens your posture. It is a good investment. Let me know how you like it! M.E.
