Weekend Roundup - Culture Fest edition

Just came back from Culture Fest, a small festival in downtown Mountain View. If you’re looking for something free and fun, I would highly recommend checking out volunteer opportunities in your area. They can put you in touch with place like Culture Fest that need your help for good causes. In this particular case, the money generated by the festival went towards the Mountain View public library. Bonus benefit, the right volunteer opportunity can be very physically active.

And without further ado, here are some articles I thought you mind find useful:

This week I talked about cutting out junk snacks and replacing them with healthier snacks. So I thought this article from eDiets is very timely. It lists out a number of great snack options under 100 calories.

And another one from eDiets. This one talks about general snacks fact. Another good article to read if you’re a snacker like me but want to maintain healthy eating habits.

From Blogging Away Fat we have this great personal piece about the scale and how it doesn’t always tell the whole truth. I’m a firm believer that weight loss does not necessarily equal health. Health is measured in a number of ways, one of which is related to weight. So focus on health, not weight.

And finally, from VitaBeat, we have this report about a law in New York City. The law requires restaurants to report on the nutritional value of their food, just like you see at supermarkets. I’m a firm supporter of laws like this. I believe government cannot legislate behavior, but they can and should make sure we have the information we need to make informed decisions on our own. I’d love to hear your opinions so if you agree or disagree, feel free to leave a message in the comments and let me know how you feel.
