Re: Supermarket BUZZWORDS to watch

Has anyone mentioned Michael Pollan's new book Food Rules?
I just love his mantra;

eat food (ie real not fake food-my words)
not too much
mostly plants

He goes into a little more detail but whenever I want that big piece of steak I say this to myself and go for the veggies

That is a good mantra - especially "Eat Food" which I always do. Most supermarket offerings are "edible products". Always read labels. Once my kids asked why we were eating a brand of "flavored rice" over Rice A Roni and other types and I told them to read the label of the brand (Manochewicz) we were now eating. It is because its ingredients were all food (rice, parsley, real spices) no chemicals. Although eating too much red meat isn't good, its not nearly as bad as just eating edible products (which are loaded with chemicals and highly refined ingredients)
