Eating a healthy diet is important, but do you need to eat only healthy foods at every meal and every single day? Isn't a treat now and then OK? I certainly think so, and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND) also supports the idea of eating certain foods in moderation. That means it's okay to eat something that isn't good for you as long as you only eat a small amount and/or not very often.
Visible at the top of the Hoover Dam, this 'bathtub ring' shows the devastating effects of a drought which has seen the level of Lake Mead drop to an historic low. The lake's surface now sits at just over 1,000ft, the lowest point it has been since it started being filled in the early 1930s when the dam was finished.
When completely filled, the reservoir stretched 18 miles up the canyon and covered 3,141 acres with water. When the dam was refurbished in 1937, another five feet in height were added to the dam. The 'Y'-shaped reservoir extends back along both the south fork and the main fork of the Boise River. Although no absolute depths are recorded for the reservoir, depth is at least 260 feet at the base of the dam. Because the walls of the canyon are steep, actual depths within the reservoir are likely deeper in spots. Arrowrock Reservoir is not heavily visited, despite being only a 30-minute drive from Boise.
