Teaching and Learning How to Eat

This article is talking about how to not gain weight when eating out by taking the approach of changing how we eat by taking a program to teach what to do.  However, I think it may have application to eating at home.  For the last while in the media obesity has been a big topic in the media blaming mainly sedentary lifestyle and poor nutrition, but I wonder if maybe also how we eat influences how much we eat.  Just food for thought...no pun intended.

Interdisciplinary Action in Health

This is a TED talk presented by Michelle Borkin on astronomers and doctors and how technology in one crosses over into the other field to improve results.  I enjoyed this article because I think it highlights the vast potential that specialists can bring into a field not of their specialty and especially with public health where resources are limited.
