on my way to the airport i picked up a small book called "Food Rules" by Michael Pollan
in it, he explains in simple terms that eating doesn't have to be complicated
and advice on how to distinguish real food
these are some of my favorites:
-don't eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize as food
(i.e. Go-gurt)
-avoid food products containing ingredients that no ordinary human would keep in the pantry.
(i.e. etholxylated diglycerides)
-avoid food products containing ingredients a third grader couldn't pronounce
-avoid foods that are pretending to be something they are not
(i.e. imitation butter -aka-margarine)
-don't eat breakfast cereals that change the color of the milk.
and finally:
-if it came from a plant, eat it; if it was made in a plant, don't.
