All I can see is green!

If you haven't noticed the Eco friendly going green trend is everywhere. Almost everytime you turn on the television or the radio you see somthing about being green.

A bunch of radio stations that are very popular have a green section on their web pages as well as give some hints during commercials. Jack Johnson has a green CD, Magazines are having special green sections all the time now.
Being green is very important to a lot of people, and writing about it has really helped with becoming more aware and opening the door to all the possibilites it holds.

The option of having a hybrid car is something that i look forward to doing some day soon. Not only does it get incredible gas mileage, but you can get a special license plate in AZ to be able to drive in the carpool lane as a single, now that is cool.

There is a great website, The Cat Scan, that gives all sorts of great news information on the green trend. They also have a great section called green tips, where very easily and quickly you can read and find out about ways to make your own lives a lot greener and save yourself a lot of money and save the environment at the same time.

There really are a lot of things that most people could change about their lives to save themselves lots of money and be a big help in saving the environment. SRP (Salt River Project) has a special plan called the time of use plan that helps people save money by using less energy during busy times.

During the NBA playoffs now, they always have a NBA cares section where they show the team playing, doing great charity work, there is always a very big name famous player that is doing something to help the eco system like planting a tree or somthing of that nature.

Organic may be the most popular of all the trends that are going around these days. What organic basically means is that everything grown is free of pesticides and other chemicals. Organics are everywhere from milk to fruits, to wines and beers. For the most part it is widly agreed that organic food tastes just as good if not better, but can be more expensive, but not always.

Being eco friendly is something that can be easy and fulfilling.

Eating green for your body

So when you think of eating healthy, what is the first thing that comes to mind? In most cases it means eating food that is actually good for your body, not necessarily good for the environment. Organic food is very healthy for the environment, but what should people eat to be healthy for their bodies?

Of course eating vegetables and fruits all the time will keep you healthy and thin. But what if you want that beach body but can't stay away from your favorite foods. Well luckily in todays world there are a lot of ways that you can eat some of your favorite, greasy foods and still lose weight and keep your body young and fit.

If you go to any grocery store and really look, you will find most of your favorite fatty foods have all gone fat free and sugar free. "It's really a great thing," said Joe Elyachar. "I get to eat all of my favorite foods, just they won't get me all fat and out of shape.

Cheese is something that people really love to put on almost anything. Cheese though is very high in bad fats and is ultimately very bad for you. There is Fat free cheese by Kraft or they have it in most of the off brands as well that tastes exceptionally good as well as very good for you. 0 grams of fat and 5 grams of protein for a slice of cheese is great and it still goes great on burgers or sandwiches.

That is not the only way to go, there are turkey burgers which are good and good for you, they have fat free vegan hot dogs that dressed up correctly actually taste pretty good. A big one is pizza, and now they have pizza's in all the Freezer dinner lean meals. These pizzas are portioned to a smaller size to make you eat less of it and they use ingredients that make it healthier as well.

Some people have a problem with the aspect of dessert. The sugar or chocolate cravings some time can be considered an addiction. There are ways to take care of these. There is fat free and sugar free chocolate pudding. They also have other flavors to fit all taste buds. Popsicles are a good one too, they have regular, cremsicles and fudgsicles that are all fat and sugar free and are all very tasty as well.

So as i have mentioned here only very slightly you can eat green for your body, but you don't have to deprive yourself of things you love. The idea is that if you just work out a little and eat healthier and smaller portions you can help keep your body clean and healthy.

Sports and Food

I was really surprised to find that at the Phoenix Suns game there was nothing organic to be found.

Not only was there no organic foods but there was no healthy foods really at all.

At the NFL experience, and at some football games this year there was organic food all over the place. They had anything from Organic hotdogs to Organic Chicken. They also had organic coffees and organic Smoothies.

The NBA on the other hand, not so much. They had the usual regular hot dogs and chicken sandwiches. They had regular ice cream and pizza everywhere you turned.

This makes you wonder why they haven't, like the NFL started to get healthy, or at least organic to try and better the lands and the world. Baseball is no better, they are basically staying on the same playing field as basketball, offering almost exactly the same food.

So the question begs to wonder, if organic food is not really more expensive, and the NFL can offer it to their patrons, then why can't the NBA and MLB provide healthy alternatives for their fans.

During such a very large health craze, it is surprising that something where food is so highly sought out would be so far behind the growing trend in most of american society.

"I think its about tradition," said Justin Antonowitz. "When people go to a baseball game they want a hot dog and a Pepsi, you know thats just what you get there."

Tradition is a very large part of baseball, it is always based on what has happened in the past and what can happen in the future. As Organic eating and healthy eating for that matter appears to be at the forefront of American living, it can be expected that someday soon American sports will catch up with the rest of the new American tradition.
