WHY FINE DINING CAN

“W

e eat with our eyes and not with our stomach,” says Brian Wansink, Director of the Cornell University Food and Brand Lab, and the former executive director of the USDA’s Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion. Over the past ten years, Wansink’s work and publications have had a significant impact on the way Americans view and manage their food and beverages. As a result of his findings, for example, most bars now serve drinks in taller glasses, as we have become more aware that we tend to drink more when the glass is shorter and wider. The minisize (100 calorie) package is another result of Wansink’s research. Undoubtedly, his warnings about an “obesity epidemic” has been confirmed by other health observers. However, Wansink’s work is fraught with controversy. Many of his studies have been challenged by other professionals and journalists, who accuse him of false conclusions and sloppy scientific handling. Still, it would be unwise for us to ignore his findings, much of which is valid. Among his studies for Cornell is a 2012 experiment in which he converted a Hardee’s into two distinct areas. The report states, “One area remained unchanged with bright lights, colors, and loud music. The other area was modified into a fine dining environment by adding indirect lighting, plants, paintings, white tablecloths, and soft jazz music playing in the background.” Lunchtime customers were randomly

assigned to one of the two dining areas, where their time spent eating was recorded and their plates were weighed to measure consumption. Both groups initially ordered similar amounts of food. But, according to Cornell, “results showed that although customers in the fine dining atmosphere ate for 4.7% longer, they ate less than their fast food counterparts (86% vs. 95%). Furthermore, not only were the people in the fine dining atmosphere no more likely to order additional food, but, when they did, it contained 14% fewer calories than participants in the fast food atmosphere.” Wansink’s experiment seemed to confirm a well-established nutritional concept that faster eating results in more calorie intake. We also need to consider the difference between fast food and fine dining where beverages are concerned. Fine dining customers tend to order drinks that are generally considered healthier, such as bottled water and red wine in moderation, as opposed to the sugary drinks that commonly go with fast food. The fact that the pace is slower when dining at an upscale restaurant, especially when eating with friends, has an enormous effect on your level of stress. With a slower heart rate and a more focused mind, one can also more wisely determine when to stop eating. Wansink notes that, when asked what determines when they would stop eating, Europeans tend to say something like “When I no longer have an appetite.” They

SAVE YOUR LIFE are more in tune with their body. Whereas, Americans tend to say they stop eating when their plate is empty. So, much of our eating habits are due to cultural differences. Americans who eat while watching TV will only stop eating when the show they are watching is over. If you must eat alone, it is far better to eat at a table than in front of the TV. While it sounds odd, the best thing is to eat in front of a mirror. You are then literally watching what you eat. We should always focus on what we eat, and not eat mindlessly. In his popular book, Mindless Eating, Dr. Wansink argues that overeating is built into our culture. Chain restaurants use colors, music, and other environmental clues to get us to eat more, and spend more. Fine dining

“We should be dining instead of eating.” – Julia Child restaurants use lighting and music that tend to slow down our meal. Even when we eat at the dinner table, we then immediately settle in front of the TV for the rest of the evening. Europeans have more of an opportunity, and tradition, to go outside and walk. Walking is another habit that sets Europeans apart from us, the advantage being that their cities are smaller. Even new cities are designed for walking. Dining at a restaurant gives Americans that opportunity to at least stretch and physically make our way home, even if we have to drive there. In most cases, we begin a meal at a restaurant with an appetizer or bread, on a small plate. The meal also tends to end with a small plate if you’re having dessert. According to the Cornell studies, the ad-

vantage of a small plate is the illusion that it contains more food than it really does, and so we are psychologically convinced that we’ve eaten more. The studies have shown that if you switch the same amount of food from a small plate to a large plate, people tend to add more food to the large plate, because visually the same amount looks less on the large plate. By the same token, people drink more from a wide glass than from a tall glass, because the same amount of beverage looks less in a shorter, wider glass. If we become aware of how we eat with our eyes, we can also avoid eating from packages, which gives us the tendency to eat the entire content of the package. Because we can’t visualize the intake of food, we keep eating until the contents of

the package are finished. Food producers encourage this type of eating. Think about how a 14 oz container of Häagen-Dazs fits neatly in your hand. Then think about the calorie consequences of eating that entire container in one sitting. The same is true of potato chips. The wise thing to do when you first open a bag of chips is to put the amount of your limit in a plate or bowl. Otherwise, you will eat the contents of the entire bag. Having a portion of food in front of you limits the amount you eat, another advantage to fine dining.

HOW TO SHOW YOUR DOG THAT

YOU LOVE THEM Y

our dog is always there for you, keeping you safe and making you feel loved and cherished. How do you show them that they are a valued member of your family? There are numerous ways to show your dog that you will protect them and love them, and there are a few that are our absolute favorites.

TAKE YOUR DOG FOR LONG WALKS. Those short morning walks are nice and welcomed by your dog, but it is those longer strolls that will make them feel loved the most. During these walks, you can explore new areas of the neighborhood or even take them to a dog park to meet up with other dogs. The dogs over at the local park love to play and can be seen dashing from one new dog friend to the next.

PLAY WITH YOUR DOG. There are plenty of options when it comes to playing with your puppy, or older dog. A rousing game of fetch will keep them intrigued for what seems like hours, while a quick game of tug of war will tire them out easily. Set aside a few minutes, multiple times a day, to play with your dog and they will reward you with barks and kisses.

BUY YOUR DOG A NEW TOY. Your dog is going to miss you every time that you leave your house, but you can show your dog that you love them by buying them a new toy to play with while you are gone. Many dogs will

be happy with a little stuffed animal, while others will prefer a ball or a rope that they can tug around. Your goal is to ﬁnd something that will keep them occupied when you are away, while also allowing them to know how much you love them.

TAKE YOUR DOG FOR A RIDE ON A BOAT. When the weather is warm and sunny, there is plenty of time for you to take your dog out for a ride on a boat. Most dogs love

TOP SIX CIGARS FOR WOMEN

ith women now accounting for over seven percent of the cigar consumption, it is not surprising that more and more cigar products are made to appeal to this demographic. We have compiled a list of six cigars “for women” — brands that have consistently gotten good ratings in the media and excellent reviews from critics. Although none of these are “cigarillos” (a topic for future explora-

tion), they are mostly small cigars with a mellow-to-medium body that women tend to prefer.

D’ORSAY SECRETO ❶ QUAI CUBANO EXCLUSIVO FRANCIA

❹ DREW ESTATE NATURAL JUCY LUCY

❷ FOUNDATION HIGHCLERE CASTLE

❺ PUNCH PETIT CORONATION

Size: Petit Corona 4 3/8” by 40 ring gauge. Origin: Cuba. A mellow and elegant Cuban cigar that has just enough layering to make it interesting.

Size: Petit Corona 5” by 42” ring gauge. Origin: Connecticut, with a ﬁller from Nicaragua. It is a layered smoke, with subtleties and depth that will keep your interest from beginning to end.

Size: Panetela 3” by 38 ring gauge. Origin: Nicaragua. Unique; the smallest cigar on the list, and perhaps the most popular. Tasting notes: hint of caramel, smooth, medium-body. A blend that isn’t bland.

Size: Petit Corona 4 5/8” by 40 ring gauge. Origin: Cuba. The closest we come to a full-bodied cigar on our list, this chocolaty little cigar layers elegantly with classic leather and subtle ﬂoral tones.

❸ ROMEO Y JULIETA ROMEO NO. 2 TUBOS ❻ ARTURO FUENTE HEMINGWAY BEST SELLER Size: Petit Corona 5 1/8” by 42 ring gauge. What might be described as “genderqueer” complexity, this little cigar’s traditional leather/toast qualities complement its more “feminine” ﬂowery and gingersnap.

Size: Figurado 5” by 55 ring gauge. Origin: Dominican Republic. An unusual shape—one side has a rounded end; the other end is a big bulb with a nipple. Honeyginger-almond layering in a medium body setting. The Presidential Magazine 9

THE

ARABIAN

BY GEORGE DAUPHIN

ith its origin in the Middle East, the Arabian is one of the oldest human-developed horse breeds in the world. It is, in fact, the foundation horse of almost all light horse breeds known today. This pure breed has a distinctive physical appearance — a dished face, wide-set, bulging eyes, arched neck, and a high tail carriage. The elegant appearance of the Arabian, together with a reputation for being gentle and intelligent, led to a marketing craze in the 1980s, during which horses were bought and sold as if they were fine art. They became valued, not only for their beauty, but as an investment and a tax shelter. Greed led to the over-breeding of the Arabian, and prices for these horses became artificially inflated. Breeders were willing to pay as high as $11 million for a stallion. Then came the Tax Reform Act in the mid-1980s, which eliminated the use of horse farms as tax shelters. As a result, the already over-saturated Arabian market took a big hit and the inflated prices collapsed, forcing many breeders into bankruptcy. It was not uncommon for purebred Arabian horses to be sent to slaughter. But the beauty and value of the breed prevailed over time, and today the Arabian has regained its true worth as a great horse for recreational riding and show. Amateur owners can purchase a horse for as little as $2,000, but prices can go upwards of $20,000, depending on the breeder, the training,

and other factors. Obviously, buying a horse is not all there is to owning one. Stable, veterinary care, preventative medicine, rider conditioning, training of the horse, feed, gear, education in the handling and the specifics of the breed, and required membership in professional organizations are all costs that need to be taken into account when deciding to buy a horse. The breed enjoys a popularity in Russia, Brazil, and Australia, among other countries. But it is the United States that has the largest number of Arabians — 660,000 registered — than any other nation. There is a high concentration of horse farms in the Southwest states. Arabian horses are an essential part of sell-out shows and sporting events in Florida, New York, and Colorado. Arabian horses excel in all sports and shows, but there are a few events that have prevailed among amateur riders, and continue to gain in popularity. Combined driving is an organized sport, with one, two, or four horses pulling a carriage of one, two, or three riders. Distance riding is also extremely popular. The distance rider can participate in various ways, from beginner rides at the local level, to world endurance events sponsored by international equestrian organizations. Such events can cover trails as long as 100 miles in a day. For the amateur rider, it can be a casual day with friends, or a grueling, extreme sport. Arabians are more suited for distance riding because they have shorter,

stronger backs that allow them to carry substantial weight in comfort and large nostrils and windpipe for greater lung capacity. Their hooves are more dense and larger, helping them to stay sound longer than other breeds. The goal of distance riders is to finish the trail. Coming in first is not as important. “To Finish is to Win,” means that completion of a competitive trail or endurance ride and bringing a horse to the finish line is a reward unto itself. Whether you want to learn more about Arabian horses, or you’re ready to ride, participate in equestrian shows and sports, or even breed horses, a good place to begin is the Arabian Horse Association (AHA). If you just enjoy watching these beautiful animals, you can find events in your area involving Arabian horses. The organization also publishes a bi-monthly magazine and a manual.
