Aries (March 21 - April 19) Where and how your food gets to your table has a big effect on your micro and macro environment. Check out some classic books and documentaries like 'Fast Food Nation' or 'Food, Inc.'
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) What you eat and how you eat affect how much you're able to do during the day. Take notice of how you feel and what you accomplish after eating healthy meals that are high in fiber and lean protein. Then see how you feel after you eat sugar, fat or white flour.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Discipline is the name of the game today. There's nothing wrong with eating a treat every now and then, but you want to keep your body and mind in tip-top shape, and that means eating healthy, whole foods on a regular basis.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Grab the bull by the horns. You've been meaning to eat less refined sugar or cut out processed foods, but you've been putting it off even though you know you'll feel better and be healthier in the long run. Start today.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Frankly, eating by yourself can sometimes be a pleasure. Other times, it can be a chore. Which is it today? Depending on your mood, you may either need to cancel your current plans or call up a close friend and make some.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) A cooking implement catches your eye, but being a thorough type of person, you want to know exactly how a Dutch oven or induction burner can improve your cooking. Good for you. Maybe you'll end up buying this, or maybe you won't.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) You can't but help try a little raw cookie or cake dough (and it is delicious) -- but remember that there are uncooked eggs in there. Play it safe and make sure you and your family keep your fingers out of there.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Not everyone has your facility for identifying spices or deconstructing a sauce. Wow your friends and family by figuring out what the not-so-secret ingredient is when it comes to a restaurant's blue-plate special.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Can black beans prevent graying hair? Does rosemary help preserve memory? Sure, they sound like folktales, but don't be so quick to dismiss them. In many cultures, food is medicine -- what you eat can heal you and maintain health for the future.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Not all fats are created equal. Butter lends a certain kind of savor to a dish, olive oil another, sesame oil an entirely different kind, and so on. You can mix it up -- make olive oil ice cream, use butter to saute a decadent vegetable dish.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) A tasty stew can be served in a tin can and still delight the senses. Conversely, a pedestrian sandwich can seem a lot better than it is if it's dished up on a good plate with a nice linen napkin.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Cupcakes are here to stay. Put your own spin on this sweet favorite by baking other desserts in those mini-cups. Key lime pie, chocolate chip cheesecake, brownies -- these can all be made in cupcake form.
Former New York Yankees left-hander Fritz Peterson died at the age of 82. He is probably best known exchanging wives with teammate Mike Kekich in the 1970s.
