So, I'm not quite sure how "eating healthy" was defined in this poll, but according to this
MSNBC story, Americans are doing less of it. Basically, Americans (mostly young adults, seniors, Hispanics, and women) are eating less fruits and vegetables. Don't be one of them! Enjoy the summer produce available, whether at the grocery store, farm stand, or a local
farmers market. It's not perfect, but
this article has some great ideas for kick starting a new attitude toward eating (and I love how it acknowledges how great eggs, the most maligned food of my childhood, actually are for you!)
Gluten-free eating is so en vogue right now, people opening gluten-free bakeries and stores are succeeding (and thriving) during the recession: so, if you need a "
Plan B," think about Gluten-free options, according to the NY Times.

Another reason why we all need to get some sleep:
not sleeping enough makes us more tempted to reach for the carrot cake instead of the carrots. My best advice -- keep that food out of the house so you're not tempted by it at home, get your rest, and if you do need that extra sweetness, invest in some great dark chocolate bars (I recommend
Taza Chocolate).
