Creamed corn that is rich and creamy without cream

There are few foods as simple, delicious and complete as fresh seasonal corn on the cob. When it's really fresh, I'll even eat it raw. No boiling, no butter, no salt. It's perfectly sweet and tender right off the stalk.

Dalton deer: What you might not know

Recently, the mayor of Dalton Gardens and the City Council sent out a survey to residents to get their opinion on deer within the city limits of Dalton Gardens. The survey was a topic of discussion by the Deer Committee. The committee was established to research and provide information and recommendations to the council on deer in Dalton Gardens. The committee was comprised of several individuals who wanted or were amenable to a hunt, including the committee chair, and the option of hunting was thoroughly discussed. However, after committee members researched local concerns regarding deer, it was recognized that education was the best place to begin discussions. To that end, the council created a deer newsletter and survey to get the public's opinion on deer within city limits.

Is your posture killing you?

Writing this column each week comes with the challenge of finding interesting and relevant content, which is not easy. Since the spectrum of all things health related is very vast, it does not usually take me long to find an important aspect of health to cover. Good posture or the lack of good posture is one of those topics that should be important to all of us. With so many of us working long hours in an office or clinical environment, that lends ourselves to chronic poor postural habits. I think it is pretty important to understand the impact posture has on your health.

About once a year, I hit on one of my favorite topics: Fitness myths. It never fails that I come across an article or talk with someone who is convinced that some ridiculous fact about exercise, nutrition or other aspect of wellness is indeed true. I love to call shenanigans on a few of these interesting and somewhat entertaining health and fitness myths.

Toxic foods

Over the last seven years of writing this column, I have disproportionately written about nutrition more than any other health and fitness topic. One of the reasons I do this is food, in its many variations, overwhelmingly defines our health.
