In Heidelberg, Germany, a local highschool has added a new subject to their curriculum "Glueck" or roughly translated "Good Luck".
This subject, which by the way will be graded, is to teach, social competence, personal competence, a positive bodyimage and how to turn a negative thought into a positive expierience.
A quote from a proffessor translates to: "The students suppossed to learn, that phyisical health and well-being, can not be seperated from the spiritual well-being."
I commend that school, for teaching such an inovative, and needed subject, that should be mandatory in each school here in the US.

Whole Wheat Pasta Recipe
Ever tried to make your own pasta? I suggest for you to give it a try, it is quite simple, and a great activity to do with your kids!
Here is a recipe for whole wheat pasta, that I am sure you will enjoy:
makes about one pound
1 1/2 cups of whole-wheat flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup of water
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup of white flour
1. In a large bowl, mix sifted flour together with the salt.
2.Make a small well in the center of the mixture.
3. In a separate bowl, mix egg and water together.
4. Pour into the well, mix until thick dough consistency.
5. Form into a ball.
6. On a floured surface, knead ( this is similar to bread making, and either a good way to get rid of some frustration, or a whole lot of fun for the kids!)
7. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes in the fridge.
8. Using small sections of the dough, use a pasta machine according to the manufactures directions, or roll out on a lightly floured surface to the desired thickness.
Use as desired! I personally prefer my pasta, served with a homemade thick tomato based sauce, with junks of zucchini, mushrooms and green peppers, with a slice of slightly toasted french bread, rubbed with garlic and olive oil.
Healthy eating can be fun, a family experience and easy! Showing children to joy of preparing foods, together, teaches not just how to prepare food, but possibly brings with it a lifetime joy of experimenting with new creative ways to nurture their bodies. It is the beginning of motivation to take of themselves that last a lifetime.
