WALK TOWARDS THE LIGHT
It would hardly seem to be a food L is for Light Friday without a quick mention of Graham Kerr, whom you may remember as The Galloping Gourmet. Back in the day, Kerr was well known as a charming television personality, an excellent cook, and a bit of a drunk, as he would get routinely soused throughout the course of his show. Each television break was introduced by Kerr saying it was "time for a short slurp." Slurping and stumbling aside, he was funny, hip and very good looking -- in a polyester brown checked 1970s kind of way -- and his show was wildly popular.

Now Kerr and his wife Treena are proponents of healthy living and eating. Their website contains information, links and healthy recipes. I was particularly interested in their philosophy of "Double Benefit" which they define as Converting habits that harm, into resources that heal.

Food for thought.
