just now (235+ words) Millions of Americans will be eating a hefty Thanksgiving meal, with several high calorie meals to choose from at family gatherings. Sister station KOAT's longtime health expert, Dr. Barry Ramo, explains what popular food items people can still choose from to make the meal healthier. "Start out with turkey. Turkey is a great source of protein. 50 grams in a six-ounce portion," Ramo said. "That also means it's about the equivalent of the total day's amount of protein that you need." He also said turkey is great for B vitamins. Eating turkey without the skin is also recommended to reduce saturated fat intake. Fiber-rich whole-grain bread can be used for stuffing to make it low-calorie and more nutritious. Adding onions, celery, and herbs can also provide people with natural antioxidants and provide sustained energy, according to Ramo. Cranberries are another healthy…...

just now (568+ words) A joiner whose work van was emptied by thieves outside his home says "if there could be some way to stop the resale of stolen tools" it might prevent others being targeted.

2+ min ago (437+ words) A petition calling for supermarkets and government services to use island-produced produce will be discussed in the Tynwald. Douglas North MNK John Wannenburgh will present the petition - set up by the Manx National Farmers Union (MNFU) and signed by 1,800 people.

It also calls on government-operated services to "prioritise" such food - warning that the island was "close to 100% dependent" on imported produce. The island's current food dependence is "not sustainable for Manx farming or the Manx economy - and it's a huge food security risk", according to the Tynwald motion. MNFU General Secretary Sarah Comish said she was "quite shocked" by the island's 6% food dependence figure before starting the petition earlier this year. "6% is nowhere near enough. "We…...
