Lately the focus around the USA has been on healthy eating and making choices that will help to support your long-term health. Obesity has gotten to be a serious problem in many parts of the country, and it’s no surprise when you consider what kind of food people have gotten used to eating. Sugar and fat, combined with highly processed foods that don’t trigger any satiety in the brain to tell you when you’ve had enough.
Studies have shown that all of these unhealthy foods have a way of becoming addicting because of the feelings they provide and the happy hormone chemicals they release. Quitting junk food is a little like quitting a drug habit, and it’s no wonder so few people are able to make the change and become healthy.
In cities like Boulder and other progressive areas of the country, many restaurants have a lot of healthy options on their menus. If consumers demand it, restaurants will serve it.
