A Concern

There was a concern that we haven't been putting out as many mixed vegetables and the food was becoming simple frat food.

 

I appreciate the concern and will try to not allow the menu to become too simple, this time of year there is very little seasonal produce and much of it is brought in from very far away, the cost is very high and the quality is not as good. This limits our options.

 

Any suggestions you have and letting me know what meals you especially like and not so much will help me when making the menu.

 

 

Shane

Meatless Monday begins December 1

Starting December 1st Meatless Mondays (except formal dinners)

Why Meatless?

Because going meatless once a week may reduce your risk of chronic preventable conditions like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity. And going meatless once a week can also help reduce our carbon footprint and save precious resources like fossil fuels and fresh water.

For Your Health:

Reduce Heart Disease and Stroke—Vegetables, fruit, and whole grains have been shown to protect against cardiovascular disease. One study found that each daily serving of fruits or vegetables was associated with a 4% decline in coronary heart disease, and a 5% lower risk of stroke.[1] Another study found that a diet of 2.5 or more servings of whole grain per day was associated with a 21% lower risk of cardiovascular disease (heart disease, stroke, fatal cardiovascular disease).[2]
Limit Cancer Risk—There is convincing evidence that red meat and processed meat consumption increases the risk of colorectal cancer. There is also limited but suggestive evidence that red meat increases the risk of esophagus, lung, pancreas, and endometrium cancer and that processed meat consumption increases the risk of esophagus, lung, stomach, and prostate cancer. In contrast, a diet rich in fruit and vegetables decreases the risk of several types of cancers, including mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, and stomach, evidence suggests.[3]
Fight Diabetes—Research suggests that plant-based diets, particularly those low in processed meat, can reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes.[4] Eating a plant-based diet can decrease total calorie consumption which helps you obtain and maintain a healthy weight, a key component to preventing and treating diabetes.[5]
Curb Obesity—Several large studies in Europe and the United States have demonstrated that people on plant-based, vegetarian diets tend to have a significantly lower body weight and body mass index (BMI). This may be in part because plant-based diets are rich in fiber (which is not found in animal products). Fiber contributes to fullness, resulting in lower calorie intake and less overeating.[6]^,[7],[8],[9]
Live Longer—Evidence suggests that eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and a limited amount of red meat can increase longevity, whereas red and processed meat consumption is associated with increases in deaths due to cancer and cardiovascular disease.[10]
Improve The Nutritional Quality of Your Diet—Going meatless encourages consumption of plant-based sources of protein, like beans and peas. Consuming beans and peas results in a higher intake of fiber, protein, folate, zinc, iron, and magnesium. Also, diets high in beans and peas are associated with lower intakes of saturated fat and total fat.[11]

PEANUT BUTTER AND BUTTER/ SALAD BAR IDEAS

The peanut butter is in portion cups now. the "Ch" on top is chucky and the plain tops are creamy, (no more digging in a jar and getting peanut butter all over your fingers!!!!)  The Butter will be in pats or squares, this is more sanitary and will reduce waste.

 

Today we are going to be meeting in he kitchen to make a list of salad bar items and a rotation for them. Please use the box at the back door of kitchen for suggestions and if at all possible we will add to the rotation.

Thank you for your involvement

Shane
