I truly believe that a healthy diet is not only about the foods you eat, but their portions as well;
"When Mae Pike moved into an older apartment, in a house built in 1910, she had a sudden revelation about one of the most widespread problems with Americans' diet in the 21st century.
"I have a normal set of contemporary dinner plates," she said. "I found that those plates didn't fit into the cabinets.
"I said, 'What is going on here?' I realized that the cabinets were from an era before people started using these oversized plates for their oversized meals. That was a sort of light-bulb moment."
Pike is co-owner with her mother, Sandy Pike, of Home Cuisine, a home meal service focused on healthful, made-from-scratch recipes, using no canned or processed food. She has several suggestions for eating more healthfully and sensibly in the new year...."
