Quotes to ponder:

"Mindless Eating is Bad for Brains. While missing an occasional meal or making one trip to the fast-food joint won’t hurt, it’s when this becomes the norm that it becomes an issue."

"It’s no secret that snacking on junk food is contributing to our rapidly expanding waistlines and obesity is a risk factor for cognitive decline."

"Brains Do Better On Real Food. One reason the human brain evolved to be the magnificent organ it is is because a few thousand years ago we began cooking our food, leading to the more effective release of nutrients."
