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.

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.
