healthy eating in cenima..when will it start ??

I heard about this wonderful request of the chairman of sony picture entairtenmt for healthier food in the movies, the thing that captured my attention the most are those statistics:

**two-thirds of moviegoers and three-quarters of parents are more likely to buy healthy snacks at theaters if they are offered
**forty-two percent of parents said they would buy concessions more often if healthy options were available;
**sixty percent of parents said having healthier snacks in theaters would enhance their overall moviegoing experience

cant we have a Kuwaiti version of him in kncc, i believe health consious parents will love that specially with unhealthy options being offered widely in the movies, which is one of the activities that have been linked to obesity in many studies.
the options r unlimited when it comes to healthy snacks even the cinema classic popcorn can be a very healthy snack once they limit all the fat and salt used, fruit, veggies with dips, and nuts would be another yummy addition for the cinema menu.

Battle of obesity in Kuwait..What is the solution

Obesity in Kuwait has reached epidemic stage imagine that 3 out of 4 Kuwaitis are either overweight or obese. In my practice I often come to tears daily watching people who have diabetes, cardiac problems and have reached very late stage due to poor nutritional management all in very young ages L
No. of my friends have posted this article on Kuwaitis unhealthy eating behavior features in CNN(so now the whole world knows about us)http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/meast/05/06/kuwait.fast.food.obesity/



According to this article food is a major part of Kuwaitis routine . No one can deny that but how can we overcome this obstacle.
Family gathering r on food, dining out is very common. We always see each others on food.
Ok u all knows we have this problem. What can we do??
Simply be creative. Just get out of the box and make healthy food ur new trend.
The reason that any fast food restaurants are popular is because you pay them to buy junk that harm ur body.
Many restaurant now days offer options that r healthier due to worldwide demand on healthier food so it is ur decision to choose wisely.(a post on choosing right food in restaurant is in my to do list..coming v.soon)
Another thing is family gathering “wa ma adrak ma family gathering” people just compete on bringing more and more food which is often unhealthy. Try some healthy yummy recipes and ideas and believe me u will do ur family real good and every one will ask u for ur recipes .
Am leaving u with one idea that I did which people went wild on
For my son first birthday I didn’t want to bring the traditional sugar & fat filled cake, so here it is my son birthday dessert


I bought this bouquet from edible arrangement http://www.ediblearrangements.com.kw/
The people just love it so I tried to make it for another gathering by myself and people even loved it more and it was much cheaper because people argued with me on how expensive the edible arrangement bouquet is this cost me a little over 10 kd and people even loved it more than the one I bought




This in one idea am leaving u with now, many more r coming in the way.. so plz next time u think cake switch it for a healthy alternative of fruits or vegetable the thing we nutritionist always recommend.
