Why do most Americans say they eat a healthy diet?

I have fallen into this trap myself in the past, convincing myself I was eating healthy when I really wasn’t.
The link in the post has an example that 72% of Americans think granola bars, which actually have a lot of sugar, are healthy.

FOOD, FACTS and FADS

“Most people try to do the best they can, given their circumstances,” Nestle adds, but there are lots of factors that shape our eating habits: “Education is an issue, but so is relentless food marketing.”

House of Duaa

Image
  I’m Umair Yasin , and for years, wherever I traveled—Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Qatar, Turkey, and beyond—I would return home with bags full of bakhoor, perfumes, candles, and air fresheners. Each scent carried a memory: the serenity of Madinah, the warmth of hospitality, the calm of a masjid, the quiet luxury of a five-star hotel lobby. I was deeply drawn to how fragrance could instantly transport you, shift your mood, and make a space feel alive and meaningful. But those moments were always temporary. Candles would fade. Sprays would disappear. Traditional bakhoor required time and intention. Eventually, a question stayed with me: why couldn’t this feeling live in our homes all day, every day, in a modern and effortless way? One day, while unpacking yet another collection of scents, my daughter Duaa asked a simple but profound question: “Why can’t we make this for everyone?” That question changed everything. House of Duaa was created as a father-daughter vision to bring the beauty o...

What Building Two Brands Has Taught Me

By Umair Yasin By Umair Yasin I didn’t enter business by accident — and I didn’t enter it unprepared. Before building House of Duaa and Duaa Kits , I understood the fundamentals: value creation, customer retention, operational efficiency, and brand positioning. I knew that strong systems build strong companies. But what building two brands taught me wasn’t just how to run a business. It refined how I lead one. Clarity of Vision Is Everything From the beginning, House of Duaa was designed to represent heritage-inspired Middle Eastern luxury — rich oud, amber, saffron, jasmine — timeless scents delivered with modern precision. Duaa Kits was built with equal intentionality — structured, purposeful, and value-driven. Two different brands. One consistent principle: If you’re going to build something, build it properly. That means strong logistics. Clear identity. Operational discipline. And most importantly, a customer-first infrastructure. Customer Experience Is Strategy — Not Emotion Put...

Journey of Discovery

This is the title of an entertaining and inspiring book by Wayne Aho, who rode his bicycle across the United States on the TransAmerica trail at the age of 74, a distance of about 4200 miles. He was a successful businessman for several decades, then had a second career as a business professor at Western Carolina University. He finally retired completely in 2020 and did the ride with three other friends shortly thereafter. They also had the support of one of the friend’s wives, Mary Ann, who followed them with a pick-up truck. http://www.Amazon.com/books I’ve read various books about people cycling across the US, but this one caught my eye because of Wayne’s age, which is a few years older than I am. He and his friends also used an interesting approach. They carefully pre-planned the entire route with the aid of maps from the adventure cycling association (which grew from the group that planned the “ bikecentennial ” across the US in 1976). They then pre-booked hotel reservations ...
