Our WORST vice!!! Let's all kick the habit together!
Eating at night is bad for all these reasons:
1. You aren't paying attention to how much you're eating (if I'm stressed or up late studying and I get hungry, making a portion size isn't always the first thing on my mind. Instead, what I'm thinking is AHHHH I'm so stressed and hungry let me eat everything!!! Or, I'm not tired enough to go to sleep, so let me watch some TV.. I'm kinda hungry too, so let me mindlessly snack and watch TV!!)
2. You are more likely to eat unhealthy (It's midnight. You need a fix. Do you eat a container of mixed vegetables or do you eat that little pack of cookies lying around you meant to throw out... Or, you're at the diner with your friends after a night out.. wings and fries anyone?)
3. It disrupts your body's natural body clock. It may throw off your normal metabolic cycle.

NON-GMO is the way to GO!
GMOs, or “genetically modified organisms,” are plants or animals that have been genetically engineered with DNA from bacteria, viruses or other plants and animals. These experimental combinations of genes from different species cannot occur in nature or in traditional crossbreeding.
Most developed nations do not consider GMOs to be safe. In more than 60 countries around the world, including Australia, Japan, and all of the countries in the European Union, there are significant restrictions or outright bans on the production and sale of GMOs. In the U.S., the government has approved GMOs based on studies conducted by the same corporations that created them and profit from their sale. Increasingly, Americans are taking matters into their own hands and choosing to opt out of the GMO experiment.
In the U.S., GMOs are in as much as 80% of conventional processed food. Click here for a current list of GMO risk crops.
