Showing results for "Holidays" in Fitness, Diet & Nutrition

The average person gains between five and 10 pounds from Thanksgiving to New Year. How can you change that? Brenda Jaeck discusses how to prepare before going to an event, how to navigate the choices, and how to recognize triggers. This year CAN be different!

A turkey is the centerpiece of countless Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. Yet most of us know almost nothing about today's specially bred, commercially produced birds. In this brief book, bestselling author Peter Singer tells their story—and, unfortunately, it's not a happy one. Along the way, he also offers a brief history of the turkey and its consumption, ridicules the annual US presidential "pardon" of a Thanksgiving turkey, and introduces us to "a tremendously handsome, outgoing, and intelligent turkey" named Cornelius. Above all, Singer explains how we can improve our holiday tables.
