Time Compression and Putting Yourself First

Shortly after I posted the Turkish Sandwich, I came across a very interesting marketing data:

No time to eat or cook — Fully 59% of all U.S. meals are rushed and 34% of lunches are eaten on the run, according to National Eating Trends, a trend fueled by the $112 billion U.S. fast-food business. The share of dinners that came from takeout or a grocery freezer increased by 24% in the past decade, and is likely to overtake meals made from scratch in five years, predicts The NPD Group. According to the James Beard Foundation, when cream of wheat was introduced in 1893, it took 15 minutes to prepare. By 1939, it was five minutes. Now, it takes just 30 seconds. From Ubercool.


No wonder many folks are getting fat, tired, sick and divorsed! Everything is going faster and faster nowadays in the survival game in the concrete jungles out there.

This weekend, make the time to look after yourself and your family. You are the number 1 priority. Remember that. Otherwise, living does not make sense... but we only realise that till it's too late sometimes.

Enjoy your weekend.

Yours in health,


Jeff "The Skinny Chef"

Jeff, I have been reading your blog for a couple of weeks now, and it is great! This news tidbit really hit home for me, for the longest time i was resistant to a whole foods diet because I thought I only had time for the processed crap in the freezer and, then of course, takeout. Switching over to preparing your food is a lifestyle change, and it is one that I have thankfully managed. Thanks for your stuff!
