Problem: Article: In “The Strike,” Festivus dinner consisted of meatloaf on a bed of lettuce. Make this as the main entree to celebrate festivus dinner correctly. Dan O’Keefe’s family always had either turkey, ham, beef stew, or lamb chops for Festivus dinner. You can also celebrate Festivus by serving one of these foods. Also, serve some pecan pie for dessert. If you aren’t feeling meatloaf, turkey, ham, beef stew, or lamb chops, you can also serve any food eaten in the Seinfeld series for Festivus.  Make it easy on yourself and go pick up some food from Arby’s. Choose from many different foods, including shrimp, pizza, risotto, bagels, home-made sausages, egg rolls and more. Serve a soup such as wild mushroom or crab bisque and make sure to quote the “No soup for you!” line at least a few times over the course of the meal.
Summary: Stay true to the episode with a meatloaf dinner. Serve a traditional turkey and pecan pie dinner. Serve any foods seen on Seinfeld.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Eating a balanced diet is important for making sure your body gets all of the nutrients in the right amounts to keep you feeling satisfied while eating less. Try to eat a diet comprised of 30% healthy carbs, 20% each of fruits and vegetables, 10% each of dairy and meat, and as little fat and sugar as possible.  Healthy carbs include rye, quinoa, oatmeal, brown rice, and other nutrient-rich grains. Choose fruits and vegetables that are rich in nutrients and low in sugars, such as citrus fruits, kale, arugula, and spinach. Many people don’t realize how much they eat or how often they’re eating during the day. Keeping a food diary for a few days can help you realize what parts of your diet need adjusting.  Some people also choose to keep track of how they’re feeling and what they’re doing when they eat to notice patterns in emotional eating. Additionally, you should keep track of how long it takes you to eat each meal or snack. Eating slowly can help you feel full quickly. Water can help you feel full between meals and curb cravings while not expanding your stomach like food would. However, you can also get water from vegetables like cucumbers, broccoli, carrots, and fruits such as watermelon, plums, and apples. Alternatively, if you don’t like the taste of water alone, you can drink tea or flavored water. Check the label on the back of the packaging for saturated and trans fats, which are unhealthy and can cause you to gain weight. Empty calories include almost no nutrients and they should also be avoided.  Examples of empty calories include white bread, chips, cookies, jam, fruit juices, soda, and most sugary breakfast cereals. Foods high in saturated and trans fats include margarine, chips, crackers, store-bought baked goods, many frozen foods, coconut, butter, and processed meat. At home, you can make sure you’re not overeating by placing leftover food in the refrigerator after putting a serving on your plate. You can take control of your portions while eating out by splitting an entree with someone, or only eating half of what is served on the plate and taking the rest home. Store tempting foods out of the way so that you’re not able to access them easily. Many people overeat because they don’t know when they feel full, causing their stomachs to expand temporarily to accommodate the food before digesting it. Take your time when you eat, chew each bite thoroughly, and drink water between bites. Your body will signal your brain when you’ve eaten enough. The normal capacity of the stomach without any food in it is 200 mL, but when it comes time to eat, some people’s stomachs can relax to accommodate 1 liter of food or more.

SUMMARY: Eat a balanced diet. Keep track of everything that you eat. Drink plenty of water between meals. Eat fewer unhealthy fats and empty calories. Practice portion control when preparing and eating meals. Eat slowly and only until you start to feel full.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can hold a cookout on a holiday, to celebrate an event, or on any day of the week you feel like. Pick a time and day when most people you'll be inviting are free from work and school, such as a weekend.  Check the long-range forecast before deciding a date, and try to choose a day that has no chance of rain or storms. To make sure you and your guests have lots of time to prepare, start planning your barbecue at least two weeks in advance. Your cookout can be as big or small as you like, and you can invite anybody you want. Some people you might want to consider, include friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, and classmates. Remember that the more people you invite, the more food, tables, and other essential supplies you'll have to prepare. The more people you invite, the more you'll spend. The invitations don’t have to be formal or even written, but you should give guests plenty of warning so they can plan to attend. On the invitation, you may want to ask guests to inform you about dietary restrictions. The invitations should include the event type, date, time, and location. There are lots of ways you can invite your guests, including:  Formal written invitations Evites An email with all the details A phone call to each person Having a guest list is essential not only so you know who’s coming, but also so you know how much food to purchase and prepare. On written invitations, write a date by which you want guests to respond. On the phone simply ask guests to tell you by a certain day if they can make it.  The RSVP deadline should be at least a few days before the cookout so that you know how much food to buy. As guests RSVP, make a note of who is and isn't coming. Go through your kitchen, barbecue tools, cupboards, and party gear and make a list of things you need for the cookout (other than food). Things you may need include:  Plates Utensils Napkins Barbecue fuel Barbecue utensils Decorations Tablecloths Aluminum foil
Summary:
Select an appropriate day. Choose your guest list. Send out invitations. Ask guests to RSVP in advance. Make a shopping list.
