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.
The before images were taken when the lake level was 1,111 feet above sea level. Lake Mead hasnât been officially fullâ1,221 feet above sea levelâsince 1983. The massive intake towers on the Hoover Dam in Lake Mead straddle the Nevada/Arizona border, in this 2007/2014 before-and-after. Should the current drought continue, the Hoover Dam could lose the ability to generate electricity. Image: Ethan Miller/Getty Images. Thanks to an ongoing mega-drought, Lake Meadâs water level will continue to fall for the indefinite future.
