I recently saw a movie called Food Inc. It’s about what we know about the food we buy in our supermarkets and serve to our families. It is really eye opening. I suggest watching it, it has opened my eyes WIDE, and will buy organic as much as possible. The organic meat in particular tastes better, gives you more energy, and is better for you. Other products may be tougher for me to buy organic because of my diabetes and I need to count carbs in my diet to keep my diabetes under control. When I left the movie there was a gentlemen selling a back pocket size book called Clean Plates N.Y.C. It is a guide to the healthiest tastiest Restaurants in Manhattan.
The next day I wanted to pick out something from the book that was in the neighborhood. My cousin and I decided to check out Better Burger. They make antibiotic free burgers. It was pretty good along with the air-baked fries but it felt like it needed more ketchup than usual. My cousin got a veggie burger and the chili. He felt that the meal was great but lacked flavor but was full and satisfied for under $10. I think will hit up this healthy burger again in the future.

hey ant, i grew up in OB and was buds with your bro back then, ever since i reconnected with him on facebook i have been following this blog.
If you enoyed the movie, you should read some of the books written by either of the film’s narrators (Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser), since the movie was based off some of their publications. You might enjoy: The Omnivore’s Dilemma, or In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto.

Hey
How are ya? I’ll look into it. The movie has really made me be more conscience of the things I buy to eat. Do you follow there way of eating?
