FUN FACTS

Plants and trees take in CO2 from the atmosphere to help growth. As CO2 levels increase from the burning of fossil fuels, volcano eruptions, ocean water temperature changes, and melting permafrost, plants and trees have been busy growing faster and larger. In fact this fun fact has lead to the re-greening of many non plant areas of the planet. NASA over the last decade has been measuring this effect from satellites in space taking pictures. article

So far, this re-greening has impacted an area twice the size of the continental United States with new plant and tree coverage. This will significantly slow down any climate changes as this new green area growth will absorb quite a lot of future CO2 emissions. This gives Nations more time to make and implement non CO2 energy changes. article

Healthy Eating Index or Food Quality Score

In case you haven't heard about this before, the HEI or the FQS are ways to measure the health aspects of the SAD, Standard American Diet. Researchers need to evaluate this score in studying the results of health studies. It is vital to remember that this number only reflects the USDA's healthy recommendation amounts for the different vitamins and numeral nutrients, but not necessarily for other phytonutrients including the two types of fibers. It also includes and measures nutrient densities within food groups. But, it contains many flaws since it is not only based upon the RDIs, Recommended Daily Intake, but also must incorporate the cost of food service quantities for free meals, etc. And, little if any consideration of cooking methods, fresh, frozen, or raw, but it does differentiate between whole and processed grains. ref
