A couple of dietitians did and massive literature review looking for evidence that diet has an effect on major health conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

For the researchers’ conclusions, you have to pay $27.95 USD.
Abstract from the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics:
Appropriate diet can prevent, manage, or reverse noncommunicable health conditions such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Consequently, the public’s

A recent guest column in the Tallahassee Democrat by Leon County Schools Superintendent Rocky Hanna extolled the virtues of a public education while warning of the harm done to that system by education choice scholarships.
I can sum up my reaction to that narrative in one word: Wow.
I’ve worked in private schools for more than 25 years, serving as principal for the last 11 years at Kingdom Life Preparatory Academy, a private, faith-based K-12 school in Tallahassee. I see on a daily basis the difference a private school education makes in the lives

These Healthy, No-Oil Baked French Fries are one of my family’s all-time favorites.
It’s unfortunate that potatoes
