Polynesian food. Oh! It's soul-transporting to warm, sandy beaches and the cool, moist breezes of the islands every time I savor a bite! It's also fat capitol of the USA (unverified statistic), weighing in heavily with high-fat meats, Mayo-laden salads, and sugar-saturated sauces. All that served with heaping portions of white rice and other refined starches. No wonder it tastes so good, but it's "auwe" (bad) for the life vessels of the body.
So, let's play "make it better for me!" Choose a Polynesian food or meal and tell us how you could change or prepare it differently to make it better for the bod! Leave a comment with your best suggestions and be featured on the next post. So, "go chance 'em!"
