Greek Yogurt
A discovery made since going on a diet: greek yogurt. What makes it special is the amount of protein it has compared to normal yogurt (roughly double of that normal yogurt!). Here is my favourite brand: http://www.fageusa.com/products.aspx?prevSect=home#/products/zero I know it’s pink and the name isn’t the most fortunate one, but nutrition-wise it is as good [...]

The McDonald's Nation
So I’ve been watching this “documentary” named “Super Size Me”: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390521/ It’s about some random guy who decides to prove how unhealthy the Americans eat and want to signal that thing out loud and clear.
