Food for thought
Healthy eating should be easy. Eat plenty of fruit and veges, strike the right mix of protein and carbs, cut back on the booze and sugar and she'll be right - right?
But ... unless you have iron willpower, temptation is tough to resist.
But ... how we process food is complex and not fully understood, and diet advice can be conflicting and confusing.
But ... food isn't just nutrition - it is social life, it is comfort, it is pleasure.
Healthy eating is deceptively complex.
Stuff.co.nz has launched Food for Thought. A series of stories which ask if the Kiwi diet is broken and what we can do to fix it. The articles are great to read, and full of nifty interactive graphics.
The Stuff "Food = Energy" calculator takes the kilojoules of everyday food and drink and, with each click of the pink "burn buttons", shows you what it takes to burn that energy off.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
