Perfect Foods
Saturday, 2 p.m. at Maui Booksellers in Wailuku

August 10, 2006

[HEALTH LECTURE/SLIDE SHOW] For many years I thought the perfect food was a deep-dish pizza topped with pepperoni, olives, mushrooms, onions and green peppers. I still think it’s pretty damn near Olympian in terms of taste, but even the slimmest knowledge of nutrition tells me it’s far from perfect. Thank God for people like Dr. Steve Blake, who devote their lives to holistic health and the discovery of things like “antioxidant defense foods” and “perfect protein satisfaction” while the rest of us fumble through our kitchen drawers looking for pizza delivery menus. People like Dr. Steve Blake understand that many of the foods crucial to our health don’t come in cardboard boxes with breadsticks and a side of wings, delicious though they may be. But this Saturday, Dr. Steve Blake will show you exactly what you should be eating and why, if you want to live as healthy as possible. The event is free. [ANTHONY PIGNATARO]
