Do You Graze?!?!

What an awful question.  It conjures up pictures of cows chewing all day long doesn't it?
People all over the country are 'grazing' instead of eating three square meals a day, according to a  Gallup survey.  For people, grazing means picking up convenience foods, eating at any time of the day or night and only infrequently sitting down to a family meal.  Even if grazing is only a form of snacking, foods eaten as snacks take up 20% of the daily diet for one-fifth of us and for some people as much as 50%.  Healthful grazing is plenty of green vegetables, ready to eat.  You might then be grazing, but as we're not cows - we need to watch our weight!!
