Dietitians offer tips on adding whole grains to diet A lack of whole-grain products in U.S. groceries is a factor in Americans' overall failure to eat enough of them, registered dietitian Tanya Zuckerbrot says. Nutrition experts say easy ways to add whole grains to a diet include using whole-grain flours in stews and casseroles, baked goods and batters. Today's Dietitian (2/2013) Share:       | Rabbit is seen as latest sustainable-meat trend Rabbit dishes are springing up on menus in the U.S., in part because of the meat's low fat and cholesterol content, but also its sustainability -- rabbits generally reproduce multiple times per year. "There was a time when customers were afraid, but now it's become the other white meat," says Matthew Accarrino of SPQR restaurant in San Francisco. "... A whole rabbit is just a few pounds; it's not like buying a 200-pound pig to get a whole animal. That makes it very manageable for a chef and a home cook."

The findings appear in the journal Neurology.

The findings suggest that less access to such areas may contribute to obesity, researchers said.
