Being a U.S. citizen, I find that we have a wide variety of choices to choose from and recent changes in the public desire to start going healthy has improved the options.

I live in New Zealand now. I will be interested to see what you think. I don't think the myth is real. In my experience there is just as much junk here and the portions are just as big. From a processed food perspective I had to adjust my tastebuds a bit since I found most things in NZ much more over the top in terms of sweetness, even soups and savoury sauces are sweeter here than they tend to be in Canada. I don't notice much anymore but I did at first. It may be different in the US. Don't know. Australia is the fattest country now... just beat the US. In my experience in Canada the chain stores are big and they are everywhere, MacDonalds and the like. But then again there wasn't a chip shop on every corner where I grew up either ;) LOL And the grease content in the fish and chips here almost killed me compared to east coast Canada where it at least tastes "lighter" in that department. No matter where you live I guess it all comes down to the choices you make. I came to NZ expecting to find healthier food choices and such since that is the reputation abroad... in my experience I haven't really found that to be true. I grew up in Canada.

]]> Comment on Kefir - What On Earth Is It? by Mag http://www.takefit.com/257/kefir-what-on-earth-is-it/#comment-786 Mag Tue, 15 Jul 2008 13:27:45 +0000 http://www.takefit.com/?p=257#comment-786 Kefir is similar to yogurt but has much more beneficial bacteria and beneficial yeast that fights against bad yeast in your body. The fizz comes from the live culture. Kefir has 7 - 10 cultures added and yogurt usually only has 2-3. Kefir will actually colonize in your intestinal system. I like to refer to it as the champagne of dairy. You can find kefir in most of your natural food stores and Whole Foods Market now carries the first Goat Kefir in the nation. Here is a good bit of information from the markets leading kefir producer http://www.lifeway.net/research.php Enjoy!

Imagine yogurt but with sort of the smell of rising bread mixed in (a bit yeasty) and it is tangy and sort of a bit "fizzy" like it is carbonated. The stuff I've had is thin like a beverage. Be careful it is sort of addictive. I really love the taste of keffir.
