A dozen brands crowd the cereal shelf, each endeavoring to out-glam the others -- often, alas, by tarting themselves up with fat and sugar. This is health food? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/ellen-kanner/story/630614.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/ellen-kanner/story/630614.html Thu, 07 Aug 2008 03:01 EDT Congratulations -- as a vegetarian, you automatically spend less on food than your carnivorous cohorts. Even so, there's sticker shock at the grocery store these days. Food costs have jumped higher this year than at any time in the past two decades. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/ellen-kanner/story/614155.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/ellen-kanner/story/614155.html Thu, 24 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT Nothing says summer like sweet, succulent, sun-bright mangoes. But summer doesn't last forever, not even in South Florida. Chill, baby. You can keep the mango kicks coming all year with heat-beating mango sorbet. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/ellen-kanner/story/598373.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/ellen-kanner/story/598373.html Thu, 10 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT Once upon a time, there were three tofu dogs -- The Good Dog ($3.99 per 12-ounce package), the Smart Dog ($4.29) and the Tofu Pup ($3.49). http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/ellen-kanner/story/582186.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/ellen-kanner/story/582186.html Thu, 26 Jun 2008 03:01 EDT Your gut is home to millions of microbes -- good bacteria that usually keep the bad guys at bay. Sometimes, though, they need reinforcements. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/ellen-kanner/story/565826.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/ellen-kanner/story/565826.html Thu, 12 Jun 2008 03:01 EDT As we ap-proach the traditional meat-and-fire fest that is Father's Day, here's food for thought: The National Cancer Institute has linked red meat consumption to greater cancer risk. The United Nations says industrial animal production is among our biggest environmental threats. And Americans eat more meat per capita than citizens of any other country. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/ellen-kanner/story/549096.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/ellen-kanner/story/549096.html Thu, 29 May 2008 03:01 EDT You've got your tofu dogs and veggie burgers ready for summertime grilling, but how about your condiments? They should be yummy, yes, but they can be healthful, too. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/ellen-kanner/story/532394.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/ellen-kanner/story/532394.html Thu, 15 May 2008 03:01 EDT I'd like to tell you a vegan diet provides all the nutrients you need. I'd be lying. The dirty veggie secret is that some vegans may be lacking B-12, a vitamin found in animal protein but otherwise elusive. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/ellen-kanner/story/515071.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/ellen-kanner/story/515071.html Thu, 01 May 2008 03:01 EDT Ever since we realized damaging elements in the ether can age us like rusted-out cars, we've sought antioxidant-rich elixirs to keep us humming like Ferraris. With three new contenders in that category -- each 100 percent juice with 100 to 110 calories per 8-ounce serving and no added sweeteners -- there's a blend to suit your style. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/ellen-kanner/story/497542.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/ellen-kanner/story/497542.html Thu, 17 Apr 2008 03:01 EDT Something will be missing from the Passover Seders of rabbis Judith Siegal and Jody Cohen: Meat. There will be no brisket for dinner. No traditional lamb shank on the Seder plate. In Cohen's case, no egg, either. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/ellen-kanner/story/497534.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/ellen-kanner/story/497534.html Thu, 17 Apr 2008 03:01 EDT Green is green, as the marketing gurus say -- eco-friendly is where the bucks are. So on Earth Day, Tuesday, use your wallet for positive environmental change. Think about buying: http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/ellen-kanner/story/479634.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/ellen-kanner/story/479634.html Thu, 03 Apr 2008 03:01 EDT April is National Soyfoods Month, and to celebrate, we want it all -- the health benefits of soy plus the lusciousness of chocolate but with fewer calories and less fat. Can one light chocolate soy milk deliver everything? Um, no. But each brand has its merits. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/ellen-kanner/story/453290.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/ellen-kanner/story/453290.html Thu, 13 Mar 2008 03:01 EDT I grew up in a family in which homemade chicken soup appeared at the first sign of a sniffle. Did it help? As the old Jewish joke goes, it didn't hurt.
