One feature story on profiles four South Bay eateries that prove fast food doesn't have to be junk food. LYFE Kitchen in Palo Alto is the brainchild of a former president and COO of McDonald's who saw a great need to make fast-and-healthy options available. The popular eatery, which bans butter, cream and high-fructose corn syrup, brings the efficiency of fast food together with green ideas like locally sourced ingredients, LED lighting, and recycled furniture. Aqui Cal-Mex, a fusion restaurant with multiple South Bay locations, uses many organic and non-GMO ingredients, and reduces waste with recyclable "to-go" containers and biodegradable utensils. The piece also profiles Pluto's, a favorite among picky eaters for salads and sandwiches, and The Loving Hut, the world's fastest-growing vegan chain.
Another feature article on sheds light on the struggle many California kids have with reading and writing. Growing class size, underfunding, and the "teach to the test" mentality are some of the reasons literacy rates are stagnant. The piece explores the important role parents' emphasis on reading plays in their kids' literacy levels, and discusses whether computers in the classroom are more helpful or harmful.
The new issue also tackles the rising rate of Type 2 diabetes, a serious but avoidable condition that has become alarmingly commonplace. The disease's health effects, which may include high blood pressure, impaired vision, and heart disease, are strongly associated with another epidemic, obesity. The article explores measures taken by local health professionals to get patients more involved in the treatment and prevention of . Dieticians teach patients to eat more vegetables and lean protein and eliminate empty carbs. Screenings are offered to at-risk groups to catch it early. Regular exercise and stress management are also key to managing diabetes.
The Food department explores the benefits of , a diet founded in Japan that starts with a base of complex carbs and vegetables and adds limited amounts of fish, fruit and nuts. Adherers view the macrobiotic lifestyle as more than a diet; it's also a mental and spiritual path that emphasizes the search for balance.
As people spend more time indoors during the winter, the section focuses on making the home healthier. Choosing furniture made with solid reclaimed wood, paints and stains with low- or no-VOCs, and candles made from beeswax or soy will improve the ambiance and clean up the air. Green Tips also air on two radio stations: MIX 106.5 and 94.5 KBAY.
