NEWS


Awesomely Awesome Book Alert!!!!

You know we're not ONLY about health here at HG (come on, every once in a
while people need a fat-free brownie!), but we've found a healthy foods book
that's so good it'll make your head explode. The World's Healthiest Foods:
Essential Guide for the Healthiest Way of Eating is a MASSIVE cookbook and
food reference guide that took 10 full years to compile. The guy who put it
together is George Mateljan, the founder of Health Valley Foods. George built
Health Valley, then sold it for a pretty penny (ok, probably more like a few
billion pretty pennies, but who's counting?) and then, instead of retiring, he
spent the next decade slaving over a computer -- researching, developing
recipes and digging up info on healthy foods. The very pretty and colorful
880 pages of this book are packed with info like the most nutrient-dense
foods (ones that provide the most nutrition for the least amount of calories),
the healthiest ways to cook your foods, ways to find and purchase the safest
fish, the health benefits of pretty much every food known to man, recipes
(most of which take 7 minutes or less to prepare!) and more. Simply put,
this book ROCKS and we are completely obsessed with it. By the way, if you
would normally be intimidated by a huge book like this, please check it out
anyway -- it's super-easy to navigate and the opposite of scary. George,
you're a Hungry Girl hero!

Spotted on Shelves...

Cherry Coke Zero - YAY! Our favorite calorie-free soda on the planet now
comes in CHERRY flavor. If you love Coke Zero and cherry flavor, you'll FLIP
over this new fizzy beverage. Pssst... rapper Jay Z's peeps designed the can.

Del Monte Fruit Chillers - Good news/bad news. First, the good. Del Monte's
new fruit treats are unique -- find 'em in the canned fruit aisle at room
temperature. Pop 'em in the freezer and in a few hours you have gorgeous
and delicious slushie sorbet. Revolutionary! Now for the less good news.
Each 4.5-oz. cup has 190 calories (a bit of a bummer). They ARE made with
real fruit and DO have TONS of vitamin C (the mango flavor has 150% of
your RDA), so if you have kids that refuse to eat fruit, these could be a great
way to sneak some into their diets.

Chex 100 Calorie Snacks - More 100-calorie pouches -- HOORAY! This time
you can enjoy two kinds: cheddar flavor and chocolate caramel. Chex Mix
rocks! Just be careful not to shovel more than one pack at a time down your
gullet.



Stuff You Didn't Know You Needed

Ice Spoon Molds - Just fill these snazzy things with water and freeze. The
result? Spoon-shaped ice. You can chill your drinks while stirring. They're
cheapie cheap, too. Weeeee!

Alphabet Soup Cutting Board - We're not sure what the deal is with this, but
we like it. Now you can hack your veggies on a cutting board that resembles
alphabet soup. Cute! Maybe we're the only ones who like this thing, 'cuz you
can nab 'em at 71% off now. Yowsa!

Salad Blasters - Don't be bummed that Mickey D's Salad Shakers are gone
(yeah, they were ditched years ago!). Now you can shake your own salad at
home. Just pour the dressing in the top, close the lid and shake it up, baby!

The Buzz...

Guess what? So many people special order low-fat milk in their Starbucks
drinks that the company is testing 2% milk as the default option in 300 stores
in 4 markets. Think it's a good idea? Click to take our poll! ***WOW, we
are in LOVE with a company called YoNaturals -- they're leading the fight
against junk food in vending machines. If you (or some people you know)
are in need of a vending machine packed with healthy snacks, click here for
all the details. And spread the word to schools, hospitals and hotels, too!
***This has nothing to do with food, but it's still super-important. February
27th is SPAY DAY USA. Spaying or neutering animals is the most effective
way to reduce the vast numbers of unwanted animals who are born each
year, only to die prematurely without love. Click here to find out all about the
events happening across the country this month. That's all we've got. HG
out!
