Which do you prefer – negative feedback or positive feedback?  Obviously, you don’t need to answer.  It’s a rhetorical question.  But an important one to think about as it comes to eating habits in our country.

After all, when was the last time you heard a positive food message?  Cut out fat, trans fat will kill you, salt is evil, carbohydrates are making us fat. . .the list of negative messages goes on and on when in reality there are plenty of positive messages we could be talking and thinking about with food.

For example, if you focused on really getting the recommended 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables every day, the rest of your eating habits might just fall into place nicely.  Think of all the options – glorious berries, juicy tomatoes, crunchy fresh green beans.

Another positive mantra you might choose to live by is focusing on getting 25-35 grams of fiber every day, and again the rest might just work its way out.  Think bean and avocado burritos in a whole wheat tortilla, think breakfast cereal loaded with fiber that you can really sink your teeth into.

Sounds delicious, doesn’t it?
